I read the entire article and was unable to find information about any public school actually planning to visit this creationist stupidity, although some school superintendents got their backs up about being told by the ACLU and the FFRF that they shouldn't do so. I think news stories like this sometimes give more publicity to the bad guys than is warranted by the actual situation.
