See, that is the problem that I believe you have. You don't see it as a threat to science.
I believe it is a threat to science simply because
it is not science. Biology class is for biology, not philosophy.
It dilutes educational value because 1) it confuses the kids with something that the scientific community does not accept, something that provides no proof to substantiate itself 2) it takes time from the teachers actually teaching the kids
science, it becomes an actual vacuum of education.
You said it yourself "I do not see ID as a threat to science" you classified ID outside of the sphere of science. I wasn't taught to high jump in English Class, or grammar in Pre-Calc for a reason.
