Would it be acceptable to teach the subject of creationism as part of
the social sciences education? If not, why not?

Perhaps, if you include all creationist theories, not just the Christian
one, the Greek Chaos, etc. If you limit yourself to one creation theory,
you run right into the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

One supported by billions of people would be pretty important, no?
Should a theory espoused by a couple hundred snake charmers in
southeastern Maryland also be mandated?

You honestly believe that teaching students about religions is an
attempt to 'establish' a religion?
