Re: All YECs opposed ID teaching requirments.
I would not argue against that the major YEC individuals and/or organinzations are opposed to the teaching of ID, and are perhaps against ID theory (whatever that is???) as a whole.
But some YEC's (and I'm thinking of someone outside of ) will grasp at absolutely anything that they think might put a nick into old Earth/geological evolution theory or biological evolution theory. In essence, they are knee-jerk anti-evolutionists, even if the matter is also anti-YEC.
Those YEC's probably do such because the "real ID experts" are vague on how their ID theory might mesh with old Earth evolutionism.
Michael Behe is perhaps the number one poster boy for ID. HE IS AN OLD EARTH EVOLUTIONIST! I think some variety of theistic evolutionist. The difference between his position and mainstream evolutionary theory is actually extremely minor. Esentially, he is trying to find God's fingerprints on the evolutionary process. But God does not leave unambigious fingerprints.
