What could possibly be so dangerous as the truth. Science does not understand the origin of life. Why should teachers be required to say that it does when the such statements conflict with the primary scientific journals as well as the view of every scientist who is familiar with chemical evolution. Does the ACLU want a federal law prohibiting teachers from telling the truth? They brought a suit claiming that ID theory violates separation of church and state, but in reality, they just want to supress the truth. ID theory does not rule out any religion - even that of the flying spaghetti monster. So how can it establish a religion? ID theory does not even rule out atheism.

Discovery Institute strongly disputes the ACLU’s effort to make discussions of intelligent design illegal. At the same time, the Institute opposes on policy grounds the science education policy adopted by the Dover School District. Discovery holds that a curriculum that aims to provide students with an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of neo- Darwinian and chemical evolutionary theories (rather than teaching an alternative theory, such as intelligent design) represents a common sense approach that all reasonable citizens can agree on.

“Attempts to require teaching about intelligent design only politicize the theory and hinder a fair and open discussion of its merits among scholars and within the scientific community,” said West, adding that most teachers currently have not been trained enough about intelligent design to teach it accurately and objectively.
