This is what you voted for. You bed your bed. Now sleep in it. Huh? I should be more careful with my brand of humor. I don't know what I meant by it, but I meant it to be humorous. How would anyone else know <g>? But if all that school wants to do is to refer kids to books on ID, as defined in Slate, to supplement their evolution coursework, and if they teach the scientific method, too, so kids learn what is science and what is not, I have trouble getting exercised over referrals to ID. If that's all they want to do I think you have the same problem here. You meant this to be humorous, right?

You probably should be exercised about it, because it is a slippery slope. Evolutionary theory, if taught correctly, is science- and is theory, and is testable. ID is belief, even if taught "correctly," and is not testable, and, further, religious belief should not be taught in our public schools. We are already performing poorly in science and math in this country; I think it would be a disaster to make things even worse- and if people cannot tell the difference between belief and science, and if they get mingled in the minds of youngsters, then we have a huge problem. imo
