It is funny how they are so insistent that the other side not be heard. They...

What nonsense.

Like all creationist garbage, this argument is sheer assertion and no facts. So let me state a few facts, since I am one of the evolutionists and you are attributing opinions to me.

We don't mind people expressing their ideas about ID. What we do mind is when they want to teach it in schools and teach it as science. It is not science and it should not be in schools, or at least not in the science curriculum.

By contrast, if you want to add superstition to your curriculum, you could teach ID in the superstition class. ID belongs with Scientology, Palmistry, the occult, Wiccan, Astrology, and the rest of the superstition. So the fact is we don't "insist that the other side not be heard." We just want it characterized properly.

I was thinking maybe Abnormal Psychology.

You think a single sentence informing students that there is another competing theory out there is the same thing as a complete curriculum?

We don't need to add any fables to the things taught, you already have the government controlled religion and government controlled monopoly on beliefs. You are the ones bringing on the fables and the myths.
