YES. ... The Haida/Kwakiutl "tortotoise shell" creation story must be the *only one* other than Big Bang Cosmology/ToE.

No creationist stories should be taught in school. As it currently stands, there is supposed to be a separation of church and state (in America). School's should stick to accepted science and religion should only be mentioned in terms of its historical significance.

Good God,give it a rest. I'm so sick of hearing this creationism v. evolution junk. The whole thing got resolved years ago. You fundies & atheists live in your own little world.

Since religion shouldn't be valued one above the other, it should be a combination of writings of the ones who believe in a Creator. Firstly Genesis 1-3. And children should have an option to study this over evolution, since evolution exalts itself against the knowledge of the Creator.

Should it be taught in schools - Yes. Why should the truth be banned from Schools? My daughters go to a private christian school, because they would only be taught anti-Christian views at the public school.

None of them. Pick a private school of your choice if that is what you want your children to learn.

They don't really want to teach it I think. They just want to say evolution is bad. If they actually started teaching any of the creationists stories people might realize how silly they are.

Not surprising; the point of your question was lost on every theist.
Really, it is quite sad.

One of the top reasons my daughter is homeschooling my grandkids is because she refuses to teach evolution of humans... She has a Christian curriculum and of course it does not teach evolution.
She will tell them that some people do not believe God is the Creator and that way they will know that some has other ideas of how we were created.

There's only one version of Creation and it's the one in the Bible that starts in the Book of Genesis.
Everyone should know the truth.... The truth shall set you free.
God Bless...
