Is teaching creationism in biology classes Constitutional?

The question asked by this thread was "Is teaching creationism in biology classes Constitutional?"

Not "Does the the Supreme Court think it is constitutional?"

The SCOTUS is the final authority in these matters.

Silly me, I had thought it was the Constitution. I had forgotten that the U.S. is governed by dictatorship now.

The SCOTUS interprets the Constitution, and its interpretation is the final say.

Well, yes, but the question isn't asking what the SCOTUS thinks. It would be a boring question if it did.

For the state, absolutely. Imagine all those children growing up capable of independent thought. A frightening prospect for a government built upon ignorance.

In what school will you find students capable of "independent thought"?

Absolutely; I was answering a different, later, question.

Good question.

Would teaching of Lamarckism be constitutional?

Or would teaching this be constitutional (I know, some people will have fun here):

Probably, yes. It's just that if it ever gets into a school program, I would be highly suspicious of the overall educational quality in that school. So, I'd conjecture, would most university professors anywhere, as would many admissions committees

Of course it would be constitutional, but it would clearly it would make more sense to teach about Lamarckism.

This is done.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

It would be unconstitutional for the federal government to endorse creationism, the idea that God came down and made everything six thousand years ago.  It's well in the right of states and local communities to teach whatever they want, though.

I agree here.
