unless of course you also wish to see the buddhist creation story
The odds of the buddhist creation story ever playing a part in an American child's life is pretty slim.
The odds of an American child having to grasp with the creation/evolution debate is significantly higher, approaching 1.

You have to realize that in this nice PC world, that everyones beliefs are equal, therefore, if one religion gets their creation story in the classroom, any other religion represented in that school is going to demand it as well.
Also, you need to realize this, if any student that learned that creationism is somehow equal to creationism in a school, those credits would not count in a higher school.
If a college with a science program found out that a science curriculum in a public school sctually taught creationism as equal to evolution, the student A: might not get into the school, or B: would have to do any credits he/she might have recieved over again.
Colleges will not allow such nonsense, so neither should the public schools.
There are a myriad of reasons that creationism should not be taught in a science class. It's not science, being the most important.
