If there is anyone here with a deeper understanding on this issue, or some insight I may be missing, please help me answer a few questions. If by chance, ID becomes a standard subject in public schools, How can it possibly be taught without reverting to religious doctrine? And after the first few hours of explanation concerning this hypothesis.....what is left to discuss?
Evolution opponent is in line for schools post

The National Association of State Boards of Education will elect officers in July, and for one office, president-elect, there is only one candidate: a member of the Kansas school board who supported its efforts against the teaching of evolution.
Scientists who have been active in the nation's evolution debate say they want to thwart his candidacy, but it is not clear if they can.
The candidate is Kenneth Willard, a Kansas Republican who voted with the conservative majority in 2005 when the school board changed the state's science standards to allow inclusion of intelligent design, an ideological cousin of creationism. Voters later replaced that majority, but Willard, an insurance executive from Hutchinson, retained his seat.
The group, based in Washington, is a nonprofit organization of state school boards whose Web site says it "works to strengthen state leadership in educational policymaking."
