While I completely agree with you, the court made it obvious the issue was not your critique of creationism, but the way you stated it. By disparaging the religious belief as opposed to the "logic" behind it the case had merit (albeit not much).

How many non-religious creationists are there? It was precisely the connection between this superstitious nonsense and religion that the teacher was pointing out.
