There have been attempts to remove the teaching of evolution in different states over many years. If you Google "evolution ban", lots of stories pop up. Look at Kansas and Georgia. The people fighting for ID in Texas do want it in the science classroom. Since ID is dependent on the presence of an ultimate intelligence, it takes us right back to the unprovable supernatural, which is my objection to it being in the science realm- and it sounds as if it might be yours also. If you taught it in mythology or comparative religions, I have no problem. Our latest hoopla in Texas was this: nytimes.com We also had a congressman who circulated a memo from a Georgia representative claiming that "teaching evolution amounts to indoctrinating students in an ancient Jewish sect's beliefs."
