Creationism IS theology (see definition below). If it's taught in public schools it should be in a theology class and NOT in a science class. Personally, I would prefer that public schools use their limited resources to provide art and music classes and leave theology where is belongs in churches, synagogues, temples, et al. not in publicly funded schools.

I’m leaving the U.S. Constitutional separation of church and state argument to others.
