The claim is that if a student asks a teacher about some alternative
"theory" the teacher can answer that question, but there is no
recommendation on what an honest and acceptable answer would be since
the "theory" that they want to get into the public schools isn't a
scientific theory, and should probably be labeled as to what it is in
any discussion on the topic.  If the legislators believe otherwise they
should have made that clear in the act, and they should have been more
honest as to what they were doing.

Considering the Intelligent design argument does not identify a
designer? How should this question be answered? A student wanted to know
why Intellignet Design is wrong,

 
The answer to the question is "mu".
 
(The burden of proof is on the ID proponents to present evidence
that it is "right".)
 
Additionally, I see you aren't using a spell checker.  Is that
a new development, or were you fibbing when you said your spell checker
"corrected" the name "Osama" to someone else in your bigoted statement,
hmmm?
 

My bigotry is directed towards terrorist. I hate terrorist violence. I
question that you love terrorist.  But what other reason for challenging my
view?

-------------------------------------

Interesting that you should introduce the topic of terrorism in this thread. 
If one examines recent christian history, I think it could properly be said
that christianity shares some distinct terroristic tendencies with other
contemporary religions.
