common in america (Score 1)

My opinion is that this is one of the hundreds of examples where many Americans (I am not generalizing) try and force their idea onto others. Its happened since America's founding, in the example of manifest destiny and in the current century in Iraq where America is forcing "democracy" on a foreign nation. Continue spreading the idea of intelligent design to others who wish to know about it. For the rest of us, leave it alone. Don't force a religious idea into a science classroom and call it an alternative view to evolution.
