My solution to this question would be to have each parent on the first day of the first grade is to fill out a card where the parent(s) can select one of two options.

1. Teach my child throughout his 12 years of public education science based on the Young Earth Creationist Theory.

2. Teach my child throughout his 12 years of public education science based on the scientific method.

There is no young earth creationist theory--that's the problem. There is only young earth creationist belief.

And that belief is not subject to discovery or modification via evidence, as would be the case in science. Not surprising, because that belief is not based on evidence!

That is why it is a belief instead of a part of science. And that's why your belief is not appropriately taught as a part of science.
