I believe it is only fair to allow the theory of intelligent design in schools. Just because you don't believe something does not mean that there aren't thousands of others who DO believe it. To exclude it from school is like burying your head in the sand and refusing to even think that people believe this. Students need to know what others believe to be able to understand why people think certain things. The belief in intelligent design affects a lot of people's opinions about many other things today. If it is taught as something that people do believe in and not as fact then what is the problem in explaining the belief system to our students??
