Don't worry about the terms. Do you support or oppose federal intervention in local school curricula?

Generally speaking, I oppose federal intervention in ANYTHING other than war. But I think national standards are a good idea -- just not ones imposed by the gummit.

It depends. It depends on whether, or not there's a Constitutional reason for the intervention. In this case there is. The matter is whether, or not science class and the matters of science are to be corrupted with religious influence and nonscientific claims founded in and based on religion and religious motivations. The answer is yes, because the 1st Amend. forbids it as an establishment of religion. IOWs no one is to corrupt science with nonscientific religious claims and nonscientific claims based on religious motivations.

Both creationism and ID are nonscientific. Both claim the laws of physics are insufficient to govern the world. That is not what is found scientifically. If you want to teach that to your kids, enroll them in a parochial school, or homeschool them. The first Amend. forbids forcing religion though the public school system.
