My feeling about this is, basically, let them waste their time, money, and effort trying to bring creationism back into the schools. It's a pipe dream, will never be successful, and it keeps them busy doing things that are relatively harmless (nobody is going to be killed or made homeless by this particular political goal).
Plus every time an initiative like this gets passed, it creates enormous controversy and provides a very effective lesson for students about what is and is not science, that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
The courts have beat them back every time, even "conservative" judges beat them back on this issue. They're not going to win it. I say let them continue tilting on this windmill as long as they like. All it accomplishes is to drain them of energy and resources.
