If we are interested in finding the truth, then we need to subject our best theories to as much criticism as possible. I think if evolution and creationism were taught side-by-side, each pointing out the weak points inherent in one another, children really would come away with a better understanding of both.

The problem with this is that creationism isn't a scientific theory and it doesn't ask nor answer any questions. Sure, there are some questions that biologists still need to uncover, that's true in any field of science.
As for creationism, what exactly would it add to the classroom, aside from confusion?
