Apparently, academic freedom is for other subjects.

No, academic freedom is for academics, not for grade school students. I don't want my kids presented with alternatives to mathematics, chemistry, electromagnetism or evolution. If they want to question any of those things later, that's fine, but before they can question them, they first have to learn them.

Creationism simply does not qualify as an alternate theory to evolution. It is pure religion. It has no place in schools.

Evolution just does not fit in with the first three. Observation is the key. (Give me a dime, I made a rhyme.;* )
