Stomper_Stoddard's Journal: Should ID be taught in public schools

I do not object to Intelligent Design (ID) being taught in public schools as long as the following apply:

1. ID must be taught in its own class separate from the theory of evolution (ToE), this class will be an elective class, no student should ever be forced to take it and will never be a requirement for graduation.

2. ID must stand on its own as a scientific theory, just as ToE class will be banned from discussing ID, the ID class will be banned from discussing ToE.

3. ID will be held to the same standards as the ToE and every other scientific theory. Everything presented in the ID class must be testable and verifable. ID must be taught purely from the scientific stand point and can not discuss religion at all and any discussion of a supreme being will be in only the most general of terms.
