I think there’s room for both evolutionary theory and creationism in school.

In science class, evolutionary theory should take priority with at least some thought given to creationism. Creationism really belongs more in social studies classrooms since its a widely held belief.

The way the question is usually phrased is "Should religion be put on an equal footing with evolution in public schools?"

The real answer is, Only if the religion you choose is the right one.

What that means is, that in order to have an apples/apples comparison, you'd need a religion which operates on an intellectual level similar to that of evolution, and the only real candidates are going to be Voodoo, Rastafari, and Santaria.

Rastafari in particular would fit particularly well into several kinds of public school team-teaching scenarios, e.g. a science teacher looking for a way to put 30 teenagers into a suitable frame of mind for being indoctrinated into something as stupid as evolutionism could walk across the hall to the Rasta class for a box of spliffs...
