The charter of rights and freedoms is at a point now where it is being exploited. And Creationism is leading the charge.
Is it protected under the charter of rights and freedoms to freely promote and believe in extemist Islam? Is that not condemned and rightfully so? Creationism is a form of extremism and should be treated as such.

Ironically, your opinion is the most ignorant one in this thread.
Also, yes, one does have a protected right under the Charter to freely promote and believe in extremist Islam. There are and have been groups that promoted the use of Sharia Law, for instance. (You don't have the right to advocate for violence and the like, but that represents a nuance that I doubt you are capable of understanding.)
However, the rest of the society certainly has the right to condemn it - and condemn creationism - and society certainly does not have to support it. But what you fail to understand is that your argument that people should not be allowed to choose what they believe and think puts you far closer to the supporters of 'extremist Islam' than you would feel comfortable with.
So, with that in mind, I don't give a rats ass about people who choose to believe in creationism. However it is not something that should be taught in schools. Science should always trump theology in the public system.
