You're about sixteen years late. The Supreme Court (of the United
States, for those who get touchy about USA-centrisms.) decided, 7 to 2,
that teaching Creationism as science in publically funded schools in
the USA was an unconstitutional violation of the first amendment.
That's where it stands, until another case gets to that august body.
