As stated, I agree 100% that ID should NOT be in public school science classes. But lets do an excercise
Lets say in Scool “A” there are 100 kids in a science class that are taught ID as well as Darwinism as theories. How many of those kids
1) retain any of that info upon gradutaion
2) use any of that info upon gradutaion
3) were pre-conceieved to beleive in one or the other from lessons at home and now change (i.e. ‘I always beleived in evolution, but now because of that class I beleive that the earth is only 6,000 years old and Genisis is 100% accurate)

Sharmuta has a link to an article that shows that kids that are taught creationism in school are a lot more likely to reject evolution in college, with all of the negative ramifications that this bodes for them in the bioscience fields, and dire consequencesd for a nation that could suffer greatly due to their absence from those fields.
