Can Teachers Teach Creation Legally?

The Framers of the US Constitution wanted to protect freedom of conscience: the Puritan forefathers did not. Roger Williams found that out, got banned to the wilderness, wandered around and founded Rhode Island...

The ‘establishment of religion’ portion of the Constitution was there not to allow a godless left-wing agenda to be imposed on all others, but simply to ensure that the rights of atheists, agnostics and minor religions were also protected. ~ http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation...ecourt.asp

It says freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Therefore all religions should be taught, and if a teacher wants to hang the 10 commandments, then so be it. It he or she wants to hang the 5 pillars of faith, then so be it. I've actually seen the 5 pillars of faith hanging on school banners in classrooms. I've seen the Buddhist Circle in books and on signs in the classroom. So, why is it such a big deal if a teacher wants to hang up the 10 commandments?
