That's false.  The proscription is against teaching creationism
*AS SCIENCE*.  And it derives from creationists' attempts to
get creationism injected into science curricula by force of law.
The traditional manner by which theories wind up in science classes
is by getting published in scientific journals, and eventually
winding up in the common pool of accepted scientific doctrine.

It would be a shame, though, to leave creationism out of any course in
comparative religion or literature on cosmogeny.  But let's move this
to net.origins if there's any more to say.
