Creationists want to force their ideas into the schools. (Think of it as a kind of rape.) Evolutionists want to defend the education system and their children from that.

The source of conflict is the insistence by creationists that non-evidentially based, and even easily refuted concepts (like ID) be brought into the curriculum. If this happens, schools will no longer be bastions of teaching and learning... but rather dens of indoctrination.
