I like the idea of incorporating intelligent design into the science curriculum as a way of teaching critical thinking, but I think the treatment should go beyond Dover's lawyer-vetted, four-paragraph statement to include a serious examination of the theory's claims and the rejoinders from its critics.

Sullum does not know science from a hole in the ground. Here he mistakeningly calls ID a theory, when in fact it is not. And he also erroneously equates it with other knowledge as being a legtimate aspect of "...the science curriculum..."

Meanwhile, ID and creationism have falsely, but effectively, been labelled as conservative viewpoints by the MSM.

More than just the MSM seem to think that, but I'm kind of neutral on that point.
