Creationists: Why is it that Creationism isn't taught in public schools?

I should probably add public schools, but anyway!

The problem with this is that it is only one religion's viewpoint. In America because there is such a variety of religions if you teach one you must teach them all or else someone will undoubtedly whine about why this religion or that philosophy wasn't included.

For what it is worth while in public school I did have some inclusion of a creationist lesson while in science class.
