The DOE could potentially try and put the screws to school districts to teach “Creation science”,

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. In addition, a SCOTUS nomination needs 60 votes in the Senate to be confirmed. This means some Democrats would have to support it. This could be challenging for a super-extreme candidate.
