"The district was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State on December 14 over plans to teach the theory starting next week. The lawsuit is the first to challenge the teaching of Intelligent Design, which the groups say violates the Constitutional separation of church and state."
There is so much wrong with that, I hardly know where to start with it. For one thing, ID doesn't neccessarily invoke a supreme being, so it is nothing short of misleading to assert that it is limited to biblical creationism.
Secondly, and perhaps this is the more important problem, the 'wall of separation between church and state' has become not only 'high and impenetrable' it has become so broad that it is quite arguably useless.
Unless of course, one side of the body-politic uses it to stifle another.

Really? Any being that could design life I'd consider superior.
And since ID is based on the claim that life would be impossible to evolve, then without any kind of "supreme being" operating outside of the universe we understand, there's no way for the "designer" to have come into being himself.
