While I am a supporter of intelligent design, if it is true that teachers were required to read some statement to their students, then I would oppose that.

I would oppose forcing them to read any kind of statement (other than administrative school functions, etc.) regarding controversial subjects.

Just include access to alternative information in the library. Do not block school internet access to ID sites. Acknowledge and allow questions about alternatives to evolution.

Wasn't Newton a believer in ID? I am willing to disregard ID, but at this point it makes a great deal of sense to me. Those who aren't willing to jettison the Darwinian construct at any cost aren't scientists at all. They are clinging to a rationalization for atheism, and would prefer death to admitting that they've invested a portion of their life and purse pursuing a fiction.
