"The battle is over keeping science classrooms scientific."

Very interesting- Okay. Then why don't we give students a choice (yes,choice, liberals are familiar with that word aren't they?) of opting for a class in intelligent design, rather than the scientific science class, and given equal credits toward graduation for it?

These classes are entirely voluntary options of course, decided by the student and their parents, the state will be making no laws respecting establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free excercise there of-merely resting a students right to choose.

Fine. Of course, these won't be science credits.

You can get credits in basketweaving; while that's a little more useful than ID, I'd be prepared to stretch a point.

Most of us like choices, that's why restaurants have menus and colleges have electives.

The schools can teach all the intelligent design they like, in an elective class and not in a required science class.

Students are free to pursue Religious Studies as they wish. But Religious Studies do not lead to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Biology.
