People have a right to believe what ever they want but children should not be exclusively taught one theory as fact in a public school.
Ok let the bombing begin.

Ahem... your branch of the Christian faith, whereas my "branch" - Roman Catholic, is perfectly okay with Evolution.
So you would have me believe that the Earth (and the Universe for that matter) is only 6000 years old or so? What pray tell supports that "theory"? The dinosaurs or other extinct species aren't mentioned in the Bible... so were do they fit in to Creationism? Or for that matter were do the other Hominids fit in?
Lastly a a thought that an old and wise priest once shared when he was challenged about Creationism versus Evolution during a class on Human Evolution:
"How do you know that God is done making us in his image? and how do you know that Evolution isn't his medium? In the Evolution of the Modern Human species we came within a hairs breath of extinction in the face of global cataclysm, down to an estimated 2000 members of the entire race; the fact that we survived and indeed thrived is to me the greatest proof of the divine."
