And now I'll toss in a gasoline-soaked thought.
Me, I like the idea of teaching ID in schools. Not because I necessarily believe in it or think it's a valid theory, but because of the debates it would spark. It would cause endless discussions in class and hold the interest of the kids, and would help them to develop critical thinking skills- something that we all could benefit from.

The problem with teaching the Darwin Was Right And Never Doubt That is that it's educational dogma. Teaching kids to believe without questioning is not good at all- they get enough of that from churches. Giving them something to think about and debate would open up their minds to questioning everything- which is a far healthier approach to the world.
