A proper resolution would be for ID to be taught in a religion course or a broad-ranged current events class. Inserting ID into a science class is totally inappropriate, logically. It is like inserting, as mandatory, that Darwinian Evolution Theory be taught in every Sunday school.

How do you feel the theory of evolution should be taught in our schools? As a theory? as fact? Why shouldn't Creationism (everything created "after its kind") be taught as well? Are living things, reproducing "after their kind", not to be considered as science?

Like this

Why shouldn't Creationism (everything created "after its kind") be taught as well?

Because that hypothesis has been repeatedly falsified by the evidence.

Are living things, reproducing "after their kind", not to be considered as science?

Actually, it's part of evolutionary biology, and *is* taught in science class. However, it is also taught that over time the "kinds" themselves can change, can bifurcate (and re-bifurcate ad infinitum), can go extinct, and so on, because that's what the evidence overwhelmingly indicates.
