While I think it is good to teach creationism versus evolution, primary and secondary school children are too young to be exposed to that kind of controversy. They generally take what they learn in school as hard fact, and introducing both will just result in confusion. Creationism should be left out because, if it is purely the direct Christian version, it is probably wrong, and has no scientific method applied to it. I think they're good topics for discussion in certain post-secondary classes though.
