1.) Yes.
2.) I was taught it in school, so why not every school? But in my case, the school I went to taught all aspects including creation, evolution and the different religions. There's no reason why someone can't be given all sides of an argument and let them decide for themselves which side they want to be on.
To teach just one or just the other is dangerous and amounts to programming or brainwashing someone when not all the facts from all the sides are presented.
I agree with you that people should be taught every viewpoint and let them make the choices, the problem is that Creationism isn't a fact, which in science everything that is taught is a fact.
At some point you will understand that this journey was your own choice and an act of creation that was truly divine. The deep pain you felt when you commenced your journey alone, your journey of experience, this deep pain was at the same time a great act of creation. Because by disengaging yourselves as souls from the great whole, from Father-Mother-God, you were allowing yourselves to discover a great deal, to experience and feel a lot of things. At the current stage of your journey where there is still much inner pain, it is hard to see what the ultimate meaning of that long journey home is. But I want to assure you that you are wonderful beings of light, with great courage and great trust in the creator, otherwise you never would have commenced this journey. What I would like to remind you of is that spark of courage and creativity and light in yourselves. Feel that spark again in your heart, reconnect with it. Know that you have the power to let the child within you come to life again and let it sing and play. By looking upon your inner darkness as the calling of a lost child, I’m offering you a perspective that invites you to cherish and love yourselves as the parent you truly are.
At the beginning of your journey as a soul, you were entrusted with a lost and abandoned child, left alone in the dark. It was your challenge to deal with this emotional part of you. This part of you represents the most vital and “raw” aspect of you, the thrust of life itself. At the end of your journey, the end of this cycle of lifetimes, you will hold the hand of your inner child and see how it radiates joy, pleasure and inspired consciousness to you. It will feel safe again and will therefore show its true treasure: its ability to intensely feel and live life to the fullest. What it needs to get there is a grown-up who will take it by the hand and cherish it and inspire it with trust. And that is your mission: to be the guardian of the child within. This child has caused you pain, it has been the carrier of your emotional traumas, but at the same time it holds the greatest promise: to be your profoundest source of love, joy and creativity.

Hate to burst your bubble, everything in science is a THEORY. There is no such thing as a fact.

Noway, not until it has been proven.
Kids go to school to get smarter, not the other way around.

Yes it should be taught because it is a popular topic socially speaking and will remain that way for quite sometime. However it should not be taught as science because it is only philosophically plausible at this point.
I say teach creationism in a world religions class or in a social studies or philosophy class. Science is not concerned with the spiritual world, it is inherently agnostic and must remain so.
