the board voted 13-4 to declare its intent to adopt the "Critical Analysis of Evolution" lesson next month.

In itself, not a bad idea. Teaching critical analysis of anything, including accepted scientific theory, can only be a good thing. If not for that, we'd still think Newtonian physics ruled everything.

much of the language in the lesson plan came from Jonathan Wells' “Icons of Evolution,” a seminal text in the intelligent design movement

However, this shows their true intention to create a backdoor for creation myths taught as scientific theory.

Not that I mind creation myths. I think a class on them would be quite interesting.

You need to spend some study time on what the new science actually reveals about darwinite beliefs, and less on suspicions about their motives.
