It should include teaching enough about ID, so that students can say why it isn’t a scientific theory.

It helps to provide both examples, and non-examples to teach about any concept. If you wish to teach why evolution is a scientific theory — it would help to be able to distinguish it from theories you don’t consider scientific.

Please note, the above concerns pedagogy only — it isn’t meant to be a comment on the substantive issues (between evolution, and ID, etc.).

I think the poll referred only to teaching scientific evidence. That leaves out ID.

You really want them to teach that God may be dead?
