But since you asked what a local school board does in some town in Pennsylvania is not any of my concern, nor should it be any of yours unless you vote for that local school board.

I'm fairly sure that neither of us have our right to free expression predicated on whether or not we can vote to directly influence the outcome. You don't care, and that's fine. You apparently think nobody outside Anytown should care either, and that's fine too. But most folks have a funny habit of deciding for themselves what they do and don't care about, what they will and won't speak out about, regardless of which zip code they happen to be in.

Like evolution, intelligent design affects changes in allele frequency.

Great, now all you have to do to establish the "fact" of ID in the DI sense is present evidence of some nonhuman designer working over structures or organisms heretofore thought to be naturalistic in origin. Be sure to show your work ;)

Well, I don't know about most folks but I do know that most conservatives would look askance at the federalizing of local school board issues. But more to the point nobody told you to keep your opinions to yourself so be opinionated but stop whining about 'speaking out'.

I don't have to do any such thing. All I have to do is support my assertions. You're stuck on ID. I already told you that I'm a creationist, in the true sense of the word, not an ID'er.

Evolution and intelligent design are both facts in biology. Both are mechanisms for changing allele frequency. What the implications are for that I have no idea nor is it a big deal in my world view. Now, just because it's not a big deal in my world view doesn't necessitate the same for you. By all means, speak out.
