<Why, keep them out, of course, lest we corrupt scientist and lest we demarginalize creationists>

I think this is a false dichotomy. In the UK they have Religious Education. I don't have a problem with that, but you know when you are in the class. If you are in a Biology class, you don't expect to be hearing about Creation in the big "C" sense. I wouldn't expect to be hearing about the physical impossibility of the Resurrection on an equal time basis in Religious Studies.

<Seems to me that a school environment where the relationship between the absence of evidence and the evidence of absence can be discussed is a step in the right direction.>

Yes, in home room. Civics. History. These are the places for the discussion of the morality of various philosophies. Science is amoral in that it is truly NOT moral. It is simply a set of testable facts and observable relationships without moral, religious, or spiritual context.
