[GSlob:] It belongs not in a biology class but in a theology class

The question is to whom the schools belong? To the people or to the cast of scientists who follow the religion of science/reason/progress in Hegelian fashion? The logical and full implementation of this scientific theocracy was Soviet Union.

I believe that God could have created the world using evolution and the laws of nature appointed by Him. (And He even could have change the past if it pleased Him. He is the Boss.)

But if the Fundamentalist Protestants want to put their literal ideas into schools in the districts they are in majority WHO has right to deny them their right.

There is no science nor Hegel nor Marxism in the Constitution.

Should Muslims be allowed to teach their views on creation in school districts where they have 50% +1 students?

"There is no science nor Hegel nor Marxism in the Constitution."
There is no ID in the Constitution either. And the decisions of certain type [like deciding what is 2x2] are not subject to any democratic, constitutional or majoritarian control. In empirical natural sciences [like biochemistry, medicine, astrophysics, etc] there are wide areas of scientific consensus - and to challenge such a consensus one better be a top-flight scientist in the field, and not an ignoramus off the street. Such a barrier to entry might be undemocratic, but so what? Evolution happens to be one of such areas.
If you come down with appendicitis [not that I wish it on you, although it might learn you a bit] - you will be seeking a treatment which is a result of consensus in medicine on how the appendicitis is to be treated - and you will go to a conventional surgeon, and not to a faith healer with his/her/its incantations, charms and amulets. But then again, going to a faith healer might indeed learn you...

I suggest you read Article 1, section 8, line 8. You have not Idea what the Constitution says do you?

If you wish to preach theology, then do so as an elective, optional class. Creationism is a protestant invention that is not supported by the Orthodox, Catholic or Lutherin churches and is not Scripturally sound.
