...and here I was, thinking that kids could no longer exercise their 1-A rights in the science room by stripping down nekkid and running around going "Ooooga-booga!!!"

ID does not belong in a "science" room because it is not based in "science". Wouldn't want someone introducing French into a Calculus class either. However, I have no problem with ID being discussed in philosophy class or some other more appropriate class for non-scientific topics of discussion.

Beliefs are not science.

The school's curriculum should be determined by the elected school board, not some judge.

If you don't like what the local school board determines the curriculum should be, then go to a private school or move.

And that swings both ways.

Should the courts supervise this separation between French and Calculus? What evil things will happen if some school board dares to violate this?

Beliefs are not science. There is belief content in science and the religion is not all mysticism and belief.

Also there are thing which are being taught is schools like human rights or justice which have religious origin. Science by itself amoral - it can find ways to cure diseases and the way to poison people.

Secularism was tried in Soviet Union and proved to disastrous. It was tried in France and it created vacuum for Muslim invasion. Why the former fellow travelers insist on repeating this failed experiment?

Howdy, Electric Strawberry, I wore the patch in Vietnam 1967-68
However, my purpose in responding to your comment is to agree with it.
Evolution is based on science--testable and retestable propositions.
ID and Creationism, etc, etc, are based on faith, which cannot be tested or proved, no matter how much their backers raise objections.
The point is that SCIENCE and FAITH are like two ships passing in the night--they may see each other, but they can never come alongside each other or come into congruence.
I have been recently drummed out of my Sunday School class for expresssing such sentiments.
Oh well, such is life amid extreme religionists.
