The article used creationism, not intelligent design, so that is the word I will run with. Also, why would you want the schools to construct the Christian values for your kids? Isn't that more dangerous than them leaving well enough alone? They could be using Catholic analogies, Lutheran or Episcopalian analogies or values and you could be a Baptist or a Presbyterian and not share those views at all!Ceationism is the wrong word. Inteligent design should be taught as an alternate "theory". There is no need for a religious brand. All major religions have a "creation" story, you can propose creation without calling it christian. If a student chooses to embrace the intelligent design theory it could be their 1st step toward choosing Christ as their savior and lord.
This is why we have separation of church and state.
HCS said it the best.
It is not their job. It's the parents.
