I'm curious, it is odd that she wants to teach creationism in school. Wasn't her father a science teacher?

Hey I remember being in class back in the early 70's and we had a science teacher go point by point through the science book. This is how a tree grows, this is why the sky is blue, swells in the ocean becomes waves at the beach because of this etc... When it came to evolution and geography he didn't even have us read the chapters. He skimmed over what they said and stated these are just the latest "theories." I think the "Good News Club" teachers are probably able to give you more accurate information on these subjects. The "Good News Club" was one afternoon a week and nearly every student, including myself, would walk across the street to the church to learn the good news.
I went to a three room school east of Salem Or. The only kids I remember not attending the "Good News Club" were several kids whose families were Jehovah Witnesses. So basically one afternoon a week the school emptied and all the students attended church. Where, of course, we were told the earth was 6K old and created by God in six days etc...
I think her father and her could easily hold the same beliefs on creationism. The fact he's a former science teacher might not mean anything in this case.
