Creationism isn't really a theory. It just states that if we don't really know every single thing about evolution and never saw all of it take place, then someone must have created it. No differen than saying if we didn't say the mother give birth to the baby, a stork must have dropped it in.
And it shouldn't be taught because there is no scientific evidence behind it. It would be akin to teaching kids that the world is flat, the sun revolves around the earth and other "theories" that are scientifically false. In an age when China and India are churning out engineers and scientists at an almost 10 to 1 clip, do we really want to be spending time teaching our kids the Earth is 6,000 years old and dinosaurs were put here by the devil to trick us?
Believing in that is fine, but it should disqualify someone immediately from being in such a high office.
