AquaFox,
Check out these threads, also in politics:

Georgia to outlaw "evoution" in schools
and this in philosophy:
Creationsm vs. Evolutionism in schools
______________________________________
With that out of the way, I'd say that people here have thought that creationism and evolution are not different sides of the same coin - they're different subjects altogether. You wouldn't teach evolution in a religion class, and I think similarly creationism doesn't belong in science classes - even being mentioned. It's just not science.
In the same vein, my compulsive nature can't help but point out that evolution is generally taught, not "preached". And the curriculum of a science class isn't really subject to popular opinion.
This is a pdf of the judge's ruling in the recent Dover, PA schools case. Be aware that it is a 139 page pdf, but it's pretty interesting reading. Basically, the judge tells them that intelligent design is nothing more than repackaged creationism and neither has a place in biology class.
