I don't have any problem with creationism being taught in the schools as a myth...completely separate from science. A good teacher should be able to handle any challenges by students or parents.
I also don't think believing in creationism is doing any harm to an individual or to society. As someone above pointed out, it occupies just one tiny compartment in one's world view.
Old societal beliefs, like creationism, can sometimes take generations to change. One can take solace in the fact that we are changing at a much faster rate than in the past.
