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.
