If it does - teaching one specific religion's creation story as fact(?) would be problematic. Individual beliefs should not be a problem, but the state has a responsibility toward secularism, especially in education.
It's mostly a "Private School" phenomenon.

Having gone to a public school, I haven't found it to be the case other than the occasional prayer at a sporting event or whatever (In the 90s).
