FIRST ARTICLE
Yes, intelligent design (ID) should be taught in schools. I believe that this course should be manditory at least one year for all students, however if school districts and/or parents aren't okay with this idea, this class should be an option for students. On the 5th page when they talked about teaching ID in California, Casey Luskin stated "Evolution is taught dogmatically—it is one-sided. Students should be taught strengths and weaknesses of evolution." True, evolution (ID) is one-sided to the teacher that is teaching the class. Even if the district had one teacher for the whole school, nation wide, there would be millions of different teachers teaching this one-sided intelligent design class. However, this con should not stop us from teaching this class. Another part in the article is when they talked about that schools cannot teache religion as a science. Yet, they go on saying they can teache religion if the curriculum calls for it (they gave an example of history). For me, I don't see the difference.
(By the way, this was my favorite article so far)!!!
THE ONE PAGE ARTICLE (2nd PAGE ARTICLE)
For me, I think that a lot of people aren't okay with this class (ID) becuase like in the second article stated: "There is no evidence that could in principle disprove ID." I also believe this
"ID is a profound insight into the natural world and a motivator to scientific inquiry," that they also stated in the second article. This article states a lot of facts pertaining to why a lot of people don't believe that this class should be taught as a science, as well as why it should be.
