Insisting that teaching a religious view(creationism) as science is totalitarian. Teach creationism when the social studies class discusses religions. An example- I grew up in NY state. When we discussed the Iroquois, we heard about their creation story. That is the place for it. Not the science classroom.

When you can give me credible, real, scientific proof of ID or creationism, then it can be taught in science class.
This means well detailed , reproducible experiments that undergo peer review, not inaccurate reviews of real scientific articles with an opinion tacked on to the end.
Legitimate scientific review articles have dozens and dozens (if not hundreds) of references to other peer reviewed articles, not footnotes to someone’s opinion or bible verses.

The same can be said of evolution. Neither can be proven or disproven scientifically because they are historical. No one was there to observe what happened in the past. All we have now is evidence in the present and our worldview colors how we see the evidence.
