I'm good with it so long as they give equal time to other Intelligent Design theories, especially the Flying Spaghetti Monster (http://www.venganza.org/).

Be touched by his noodly appendage, become a Pastafarian.

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERISM:

* Flimsy moral standards.
* Every friday is a relgious holiday. If your work/school objects to that, demand your religious beliefs are respected and threaten to call the ACLU.
* Our heaven is WAY better. We've got a Stripper Factory AND a Beer Volcano.

Mind you, it's only the media and creationists who refer to it as a 'theory'. It is not recognized as a scientific theory. The National Academy of Science dubbed it "Creationism in disguise".

Phillip Johnson ("Father of Intelligent Design") has some gem like quotes, where he lets slip the idea behind ID.

"Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools."

"This isn't really, and never has been a debate about science. It's about religion and philosophy."

I know how you feel... I get the scathing "liberal" label quite often. It always reminds me of the way I was called a "communist" in junior high during Reagan's administration because I was a democrat. It never seems to end... like yer a unpatriotic castoff just because you don't nod your head to every administrative action.

Don't even get me started on Intelligent Design again... shudder.
