Intelligent Design
Intelligent Design is such a confusing topic. I looked all over the Internet at different definitions and I found that Intelligent Design is that nature/things were created by [super] intelligent beings, or as one definition put it "A conjecture claiming that biological life on Earth, or more broadly, the universe as a whole, was created by an unspecified intelligent agent rather than being the result of undirected natural processes en.wiktionary.org/wiki/intelligent design." This whole idea of Intelligent Design sort of relates to evolution in the fact that they are both very debatable and major issues in our society.
Intelligent Design seems to relate most closely to religion, so if they want to keep religion and schools separate, they should keep Intelligent Design out of schools. Intelligent Design, from what I read, seems to be like creation without the use of the word "God." If they want to be consistent in their teachings and rules, it shouldn't be taught in school.
Intelligent Design could also be considered a science because it tells how something was made; in science how things are made is something that is explained. It could be considered both involving science and religion.
Personally, I don't know if Intelligent Design shouldn't be taught in schools. It is very controversial and sort of brings religion-ish things into the school. It's a hard decision to make. In keeping with prior rules about separating religion and school, it shouldn't be taught.
