the truth is that there are many scientific elements taught by creationists and it simply is accepted as a valid theory. Not by you; but that doesn't change the facts. You should be just a little more open minded. After all, the science pointing to creationism is alot more fascinating than the poor science of evolutionism. The facts are there for all to see and the kids who are denied them in school will find them on their own when they want to. But they shouldn't be denied them in a tax payers school.

That is impossible. There are two types of anti-evolution activism: Biblical/Koranic creationism makes specific predictions, and was known to be false by the early 1800's. (EG, under the Flood hypothesis one would expect fish to be in all marine deposits, but they aren't found in Cambrian and preCambrian strata. There are a lot of other, purely geologic, problems as well.) ID, on the other hand, is squishy enough that it can never be pinned down; ie there is no way to test it.

It may be for some, but it still fails to say where to find a Tiktaalik or a Homo erectus. The "poor science" correctly predicted where these would be found.

Indeed. Be careful what you wish for.

But they shouldn't be denied them in a tax payers school.

Until they're science, they have no place in a science class. Show me where an anti-evolution activist, whether an ID-ist or a creationist, has ever made a detailed prediction about what would be found in a genome or a fossil dig. This is the standard that the rest of science adheres to; until ID or creationism make testable predictions, and they pass these tests, they cannot be considered science, and to try to pass them off as science is fraudulent.
