Okay now I'm a little confused. We're talking about having a constitutial amendment to authorize researching and teaching them side by side. That kind of implies that it's going to be the government doing the research. We shouldn't need an amendment to authorize private research institutions to do research into ID.
Who said anything about private research institutions? I said individual research institutions (which typically means universities). They will decide who will teach what. As for our public schools, that would be left up to whoever has authority over curriculum (in some cases it’s the state, in other cases it’s the local school boards). And by the same token, all of the above would be free not to teach ID as well. It would be left up to each individual institution.
