Are there schools in the States that actually teach Creationism and not Evolution? Are there sites that deal with this debate?
I heard this mentioned on a TV program last night and thought to myself * surely not anymore, maybe 20 years ago but not now *.
Please try to keep this on a GQ line 
I found a list of colleges and universities that support Creationism. Whethere these schools teach it exclusively, I don’t know, but their definition of Creationist schools is:
I don’t know if there are any public schools that teach creationism exclusively, but
Kansas was in the news a few years back when they removed the requirement that evolution be taught. Apparently it’s up to local school districts to decide what to teach. http://www3.cnn.com/US/9908/12/kansas.evolution.flap/
Thanks a lot.
Cheers. 
The year following the Kansas decision, the voters threw out the old school board and the replacements have re-installed knowledge of evolutionary thought to the state requirements.
There have also been a few cases of biology teachers being fired for teaching Creationism, with one guy in Minnesota trying to sue the school board for violating his rights by forcing him to teach against his religion.
School districts are run at the local level throughout the U.S. and even where there are state boards to set the curriculum, there is no large governing body that compells a local community to go along. (The kids might score lower on the biology section of those idiotic mandatory tests, but evolution is still a small enough aspect of biology that it will generally not lower their scores enough to keep them from graduating or out of college).
Was that Evolution on PBS? I saw that, too. I thought the Lafayette (IN) school board found a nifty way around the difficulty–point out that “creationism” isn’t a “biological science”, and they really can’t add a non-biological science to the “Biological Science” curriculum. The head of the school board made a very good suggestion, I thought, when he told the kids they could discuss Creationism in a Humanities class of some kind.
Just not “science”.
And I thought it was clear from the show that there aren’t any public schools where only creationism is taught, because it’s not a “biological science”, but that there are some public schools (like in Kansas) where, since they can’t add creationism, they just drop evolution.
And Biblio, not to cast aspersions on the quality of your Google search, 
but seeing as how it’s the AnswersInGenesis website, and bound to be just a teeny bit biased (Jerry’s got lots of numbers and an impressive bibliography, and if I didn’t have chores to do, I’d spend the morning working my way through all of those), I think it’s worthwhile to point out that “mentioning alternate theories in class” isn’t quite the same thing as “teaching alternate theories in class”. I have no doubt that 15% of public school science teachers eventually get around to mentioning Creationism, but I doubt whether they’re actually “teaching” it as a viable, sensible, possible theory.
At my school in Western Kentucky, we’re taught by a creationist biology teacher. He stresses to us that “evolution” (he says it like the students would it’s a dirty word) means “change over time” and that he has to teach it to us because it’s a theory that’s on the tests. He also stresses that evolution is a theory, which means that it has yet to be proven. So evolution is being taught, but not entirely convincingly.
(A few years back they glued pages of our science book together (with rubber cement) because it taught the Big Bang Theory without mention of creationism. I question the quality of the education I am receiving.)
I have known small-town schools that when a new science teacher is being interviewed the school board will ask him about his feelings on creationism vs. evolution and then the board (or administration) will hire the one who is most versed on creationism.
In this way, technically the official curriculum is science, but the real focus is something else again.
I once heard a “science” teacher in a small school in the Panhandle of Texas tell a student that “evolution just doesn’t make sense”.
On thge other hand…I was born and raised in New York City and attended both parochial (Catholic) and public schools, admittedly in the 70’s and 80’s before the rise of the religious right, and never even heard the word creationism. Nor, do I believe, do the schools teach or even mention it now.
I think it’s important to understand how de-centralized schools are in America as opposed to Europe, which it seems the OP is from.
Now, wait a freakin’ minute…15% of public school teachers teach both evolution and creation? How is creation taught, seeing as how specific religious doctrine is not allowed to be put forward as fact? Is it a kind of general “In the beginning, a Creator put forth the world…” thing? Or is this a specific Christian interpretation?
occ, it depends where the school is located. As both McKenna and I have indicated, there is no Big Government Guy looking over the curriculum or the specific classrooms in the U.S., even at the state level. There are still schools where they broadcast the morning prayer over the P.A. each morning. Until someone in the community stands up and demands a change, it will continue.
In many communities with fairly homogeneous cultural/religious populations, no one would be inclined to object. In other areas, a few might object, but would keep silent out of fear of the repercussions.
I have no idea whether the “15%” number is anywhere close to accurate (either too high or too low), but I have no trouble believing that some percentage of teachers in some percentage of school districts teach across a complete range of Creationist influenced ideas.

I went to a small rural high school in Louisiana. We only had one biology teacher, and he taught creationism. He specifically taught ‘anti-evolution’ with all the regular arguments. I didn’t get evolution until college.
