Would you be willing to express this much more neutrally? You're actually asking what a creationist or ID educational curriculum would look like, and this would go in the [forum=-4] forum, but it might be better to remove the "cdesign proponentist" references and to modify or trim out the negative characterizations. If you edit your Message 1 then just post a short note letting me know you've done so.

Please Focus on the Topic
Hello all!
This is from the opening post:
So let us try to imagine what America is like 20 years after the creation/ID science curriculum becomes the law of the land.
Please let's keep discussion focused on the topic. Those who view the scenario of this thread favorably should describe the favorable aspects, those who do not should describe the unfavorable aspects. For example, while Dover can provide some hints of the direction such an outcome might take when projected out 20 years, the judge's ruling in the legal case is definitely wandering too far afield, as is the existence of technical literature concerning ID.
Just to be very clear, there are some members with a proclivity for using the slightest excuse to wander off-topic onto their favorite themes, and our reduced moderator team is not equipped to follow them all over the forums continually issuing off-topic warnings. Even worse, leniency is this regard as encouragement to other members to do the same. Please do not overburden the moderator team, or it will be forced to remove such members from the active roles for longer and longer periods, eventually permanently.

Moderator Comment
It's okay if this thread continues on in its current way, but participants may want to ask themselves if this is the level of discourse they want to be a part of. It might be prudent to wait until something worth responding to is posted.

Summation Time
I don't think it takes any special gifts of discernment to see that the ID viewpoint wasn't well represented in this thread, so there's no need to call attention to the obvious by bashing the IDists who did happen to show up.
This thread is closing soon. Summation time, everyone.
