...then rigorous pedagogy must apply.

Pedagogy? Why bring that up? :-)

But seriously Don, pedagogy is not primary, it serves a goal; here that goal is teaching about science. Science is much more than a set of published results, it is a process, a history, a community etc. Learning about the governing paradigms is central, it isn't all that should be taught.

if you are going to give special consideration to ID

I don't know what gave you that idea. I don't see how teaching about ID serves the goal. OTOH if I were convinced it would, the I would support doing so.

I entertain serious doubts that pedagogy is not primary in education.

That's history and social studies. If you are going to teach business practices, business practices are what you should teach, not history of accounting and Roman maritime banking law.
