To teach ID as some sort of scientific competition to evolution, is indoctrination, whether you care to admit it or not.

And if state law mandates the teaching of science, it is a high crime, exposing the perps to impeachment by the state legislature. It is also fraud, whcih opens up the school board and its individual members to lawsuits by the ripped-off teachers, parents, and students.

You're going to have to learn to live with the fact that approx. 299 of every 300 biologists say that evolution is an important, well-tested part of biology. School boards and legislatures have neither the authority nor the competence to decide what science is.

They have the authority, the problem is that they don't have the competence.

Virginia for whatever reason I do not know, you give way to much weight to the person behind the noun 'biologist'.
For all a 'biologist' is (99.99999% of the time) is a person who has done some work at any level in biology and/or has competed some level of academic curriculum in a particular field of biology.

This could range from AA degree to Doctoral, and as we have seen false and fraudulent data/conclusions can come from the 'biologists' at all levels.

I give you a 7.5 out of 10 on the Red Herring scale though it is a good try, but still more to go to get on the evo-olympics gymnastics-contortion team.

Wow, now you are getting there! Where did you grab that from? was it a take off of from Dr StrangeLove? which BTW that original quote was based on a real life statement.

FWI.., Dr. StrangeLove quote 'war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought'

My reply?? "c'est la vie"
