I went to a NSW public School and we had scripture lessons in which Intelligent Design was taught (although only in the periphery). The only problem I have with schools teaching Intelligent Design is:- a) They should not put it in the science subjects.
b) They should not let it displace other more important subject matter. When I studied engineering at university there were several "general studies" subjects that I had to complete. These were frequently filled with clap trap. So its not like we are talking about something new. However I don't think that the theory of evolution is typically discussed in a very scientific way either. Some seem to have forgotten that its a theory and have elevated it to the status of being a scientific law. And when I was taught evolution at high school it was mostly dogma. Asking challenging questions seemed to get me the same dumb stare that I previously got only in scripture lessons. Usually followed by a set of platitudes that made no logical sence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability
