"How can you teach intelligent design in a public school that can't even hang the ten commandments on it's walls?"

Easily. The 10 Commandments are moral laws, wheras ID makes no reference at all to morality or to the character or intentions of the inferred designer. For all ID knows, the designer may have created the universe as an inside joke. It's far more rigorous than neo-Darwinism and bears almost no resemblance to creationism.

Well, without morality the teaching of ID means nothing to me.  What's the purpsoe of going from one Godless concept to another?  What purpose is there to teaching the ID of man and our universe if the story of God is not connected to it?  The presentation of ID would then be a third concept, not a presentation of creation, the introduction of sin and the story of redemption as accepted by Christians.

Evidently the teaching of ID is the equivelent of rice cake when it comes to educational nutrition.  Fighting the battle to introduce it would be pointless.

Win or lose, the left comes away having once again avoided the moral truths of the ages.  A living God created us in His image.  He set up a test of our own free will.  We made the wrong choice.  Despite this He devised a way to rescue us from the effects of sin.  And by providing His Son as the sacrificial lamb, He did it.  Without these truths included, ID is just empty calories IMO.
