I think most of the people pushing Intelligent Design into the schools are trying to have it taught as part of the science curriculum. That is sad as well as laughable. ID is religion (belief), not science. Public schools are the state. Church and state are supposed to be separate.
I have no argument with people who believe that theory themselves but teaching children it is science- nah, by now we should be going forward. Just for the record, I'm not a proponent of science either.
