I think the conservatives will be ousted again this year resulting in the standards changing ...

It's bothersome to have them wrap themselves with that fine word. I'd prefer to call the creationist school board members what they truly are -- theocrats running as conservatives.

I've started using "anti-evolution activists". It covers both ID and creationism, and it correctly classifies them as political activists rather than scientists.

That's good. But really, it's all part of a larger anti-science movement which has support in both parties. The dems have their slice of it in various junk-science fads like global warming and anti-nuclear power. Things were more clear back when the anti-evolution people were democrats, cheering for William Jennings Bryant in the Scopes trial.
