If you are asking whether people respond to challenges, I would have to say yes. I personally think the debate is healthy. I think it would be wonderful to have high school students know that there are problems remaining in science just as great as those solved in the 19th and 20th centuries.
ID advocates have been pretty good at pointing out gaps, but haven't added any tools for filling them. Some people on these threads seem to be arguing that's it's immoral to try to fill them, or blasphemous to believe they can be filled.
But notions like that aren't even close to what's being advocated for school curricula.
