I hate to point out the number of students who flunk science. So the hysteria over teaching a failed agenda seems to escape me. Maybe ID is the shot in the arm that science needs to keep students interested in all levels of science.

I do know one thing for sure, way back when children were taught that there was a higher authority the worse infractions of the rules was chewing gum and spit wads. And the majority of students actually hung around to graduate.

NIV Psalms 33:12-22
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
13. From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14. from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--
15. he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16. No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19. to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

When did this idyllic time exist?

So if too many students fail a subject, we should start forcing the teachers to teach other things instead? If they fail math we should perhaps teach bible in math class?

If kids are not learning science we need better science teachers and more support for science departments and (also very important) better math teachers. You cant teach good science without math.
