If we must give "equal time" to every flaky alternative clutched by every fringe group, there will be no time for the students to learn anything remotely resembling a coherent concept of reality.

The entire issue illustrates that the educational "elites" in the US are among the dumbest, least-educated groups in the entire country. I'm entirely confident that most of them don't understate the issue, and if you laid it out for them, they wouldn't be able to follow it. What this really demonstrates is that it's time for "public" education (that is, government-run education) to be abolished. Socialism is never a good idea, in education or anywhere else.

Shhhhhhhhh!

You're letting the cat out of the bag.

ID is really part of a conspiracy to promote school choice.

Absolutely.

Private schools would be free to teach whatever the market demanded, even "ID" and Creationism, as well as more traditional curriculum.
