I think this is highly unlikely as imposing creationism on the states would cause major 2018 push-back even from electoral groups in the current Republican base.

I disagree completely. This is a highly religious country and a VERY large % don’t “believe” in evolution. The largest single group of people ( >40%) believe that god created humans in their present form and evolution doesn’t exist. A smaller group “believe” in evolution without god and even smaller % believe that evolution exists but it’s guided by god.

So… no. Creationism is still alive and well and not receiving the pushback it should.
