A person's religious beliefs should always be respected. Religion is a very important aspect to many people's lives.
However, I don't believe religion has any place in a science classroom. Bills such as this only end up hurting students and teachers.

That's exactly what I thought when I read about the bill in Ohio! You read my mind. :)

You know what I mean. Why is it a big deal? Let’s say it’s a science class and I believe in creation vs evolution. Why are we making kids memorize information that goes against their foundational belief structure?

The wording of the bill goes beyond just evolution vs. creationism. It sets up a situation where a student is allowed to argue for a scientifically wrong answer. It also can penalize students who do well and get good grades.
Scientific questions deserve scientific answers.
