So, maybe public schools can just offer a theology class. You don't have to take it, have it cover all types of religion, and teach about creation. Theology is actually quite interesting and I think this whole fundamentalist problem we have now is due to that the only theological education these people are getting is from crooked priests and pastors.
While I tend to agree with you that your idea is a solution, I don't think it's a very good one. It's the same problem with the 10 Commandment displays and all the other religions court-battles going on right now: if you accept one religion, you have to accept all. That includes unpopular ones like Satanism, for example, which I'm sure those in Kansas would just love to have taught in their schools. And that doesn't even begin to touch the requirements for having classes on Atheism/Agnosticism (sp?).
So, I think your solution isn't a very good one, I don't have one that's better. Why? Because if there was a good solution, it would have been found sometime in the past few thousand years during all the other religions arguments/battles/wars/etc.
