And so far, the liberals are winning.

I don't see this as a victory for liberals. More one of academic rigor and/or common sense. It's obvious that science class is for the teaching of science. Anything else sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb and compromises even the most basic understanding of what science is.

Although the movement for ID in schools may be a ploy aimed against the removal of religious practice from public schools, it's such a feeble and distorted nip around the edges that it can be easily countered without ever engaging the actual question of religion in public schools. You don't have to be opposed to religion, the teaching of religion, or even to ID to recognize that it doesn't belong in science class and the risks of force fitting it.

They know they cannot be pro religion, pro abortion, and pro sodomy simultaneously.

ID in schools has nothing to do with abortion or sodomy. That's the kind of conflation that illustrates why our schools need to hold onto whatever academic rigor remains if our country is to retain it's position in the world.
