Well, evolution is based in science, and science is few laws and a lot of theories (beliefs).
Creationism, is design by some omnipotent force/being, based off of historical accounts of a bunch of people who decided to write their experiences down as a holy book.
So, my personal perspective, is that they should cover both. Evolution fits in with biology, and Creationism falls in with History. Let people make their own decisions as to what to believe.

Point of clarity for all, “The Evolutionary Theory of Man” is the theory that man developed through the process of evolution. Evolution in itself is can be proven scientifically. “The Evolutionary Theory of Man” has not been, yet. They are not the same thing. Referring to them as the same thing confuses the debate.

Of course creation should be taught in schools. Just not in science class.
If creation is taught in a religious studies class, then there's no real issue now is there?
** when I say "creation" I don't mean the Christian concept of creation as found in the Bible, I mean the general idea that the life, the universe, and everything came from some higher power(s) **

Don't want to turn this into another Creation vs Evo thread, so let's take religion out of this. Plain and simple, Evolution is as faith based as any religion. So you're children are still being indoctrinated by people who subscribe to a particulary FAITH based belief system. What's wrong with one more?

Um, not it's not. Evolution can be tested, over and over again, in different places. Creation cannot.
