My assertion stands that dogmatic evolutionists cannot stomach the suggestion that Darwinian evolution has some explaining to do.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, both as to the existence of "dogmatic" evolutionists and that they have some 'splainin' to do.

So much so they would rather file lawsuits than see the subject of ID brought up in an academic context.

Huh. Would you feel the same way about someone filing suit to get their children properly educated in a school district that decided to give equal time in college-track english class to eubonics and phonics?

Nope. Lawsuits are not the way to establish or maintain a cirriculum. Neither are public schools the best way to educate the crowing glory of God's creation. But as long as they're there, decisions must be made that tend to the betterment of the students. In the case you mention, the swap is a bad one, whether by force of law or voice of persuasion.

Where one person's idea of betterment conflicts with another person's idea of betterment, hopefully a compromise can be reached that allows options. Heretofore the option of teaching ID in an academic setting has been opposed BY LAW from those who think the government ought enforce their idea of what is better. You know. Rome and all that.
