Faith based beliefs, such as creationism should NOT be taught in schools.

So then are you also demanding that the pagan religious underpinnings of the scientific advancements of many cultures also not be explained? A lot of Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Islamic, Mayan, and other cultures had scientific advancements interwoven with their faith-based(religious) beliefs, from calendars to architectural design. You'll have to burn a lot of textbooks to meet the standard you just stated.

That is reaching so far beyond that it is not even worth dealing with.

If it is faith based, it should not be taught in a government funded school, unless it be via vouchers, so if you want your child taught creationism, get vouchers passed and send your kid to private school.

Creationism has no place in public school, PERIOD!! It is faith based and religious in nature. It is the schools job to teach facts and science, not fantasy and religion.
