People send their children to religious schools for exactly this sort of thing. If they can't get it there, who knows, they might go back to the public schools and try it out there. That's just bad all around.
I'm myself in the (pseudo) evangelical atheist camp but I tell you what: Don't treat people with disgust or contempt - all we have are other people. You won't convince them of anything this way anyway. Being wrong isn't evil, it's just being wrong.
Also, consider this, those kids will be taught by creationism by someone with serious doubts about it. Kids are unknowing about many things but they are very adept at picking up things like this.
