If I.D. can't be taught in a Philosophy class, under which class should it be taught?

Guess I answered my own question...

Won't be too far down this road where mere possession of a Bible at a school will fall under the same category as a firearm...

If they were only going to be discussing the philosophical aspects of ID, then philosophy would be the correct course.

Unfortunately, they were merely calling it a philosophy class. What they were teaching was biological aspects of creationism, i.e.: Young Earth Creationism.

Even the two science teachers at the school objected to the course because the so-called philosophy class undermined what was being taught in science without offering any proof that what was being taught in science was invalid.

It can be taught in a philosophy class. This wasn't even close to that.

Quick questions: in what type of philosophy class is "scientific evidence" introduced to discredit a philosophy? And in what type of philosophy class is one particular "philosophy" taught as being the correct one?

Once again, the ID PC tries to redefine words that interfere with their political agenda.

Our brave new world is already upon us.
I have previously posted a news article were a teacher throws the Bibles of two students in the school office trash can.
I have also heard of students who dare wear a shirt with a Bible quote on it being ordered to turn the offending shirt inside-out.
If you have a Bible with you, you are considered armed and dangerous.
