Re: More Idiocy!
It looks even worse than you think. According to reports on The Panda's Thumb Michigan’s Impending ID Lawsuit the teachers included:
...young earth creationist material as well, including classroom material claiming that the Grand Canyon had formed in a single year as a result of Noah's flood

Re: More Idiocy!
When ID is trying to pretend to be science we get "non-deity" statements, however we also see statements like:
What is the tangible benefit of Intelligent Design for the Christian community? I think minimally it is that it will prevent our young people from being swept away by this materialist ideology. But beyond that, and I think this is what really is the driving force for me, it gives us the truth of creation

​
Intelligent design is not in the business of filling in the details of who or what the designer is. That's a task for theology and metaphysics

Kathy Martin speaks
Kathy Martin is a Member of the school board in this case.
​
The Clay Center Dispatch attributes the following to her:
​
ID is not strictly Christian, but it is theistic.
​
Of course this is a Christian agenda. We are a Christian Nation
​
Why shouldn't theology be taught in the classroom? Morality ought to be
taught in every class. Prayer ought to be allowed. Whenever a child
wanted to pray in class, I prayed with them

Re: Kathy Martin speaks
Well my answer is not in every class, and it must be taught in an even-handed way. When you get teachers wanting to put their religious beliefs into science classes how can you trust them to fairly teach about other religions ?
