Kansas is a good example, and I know the YEC movement is still strong. Duane Gish's rolling road show came through a nearby town and few years ago and a local pastor introduced an
equal time proposal to their school board. It didn't pass, but what an uproar from the secular side. You'd a thought they were inviting the devil himself into science classrooms.
But what prompted my question is what feels to me like a gradual change in the way Creationism is expressed on the Internet at discussion boards. These used to get a lot of traffic about the depth of lunar dust, the diminishing magnetic field, hydrologic sorting and so forth. You hardly ever see that anymore - it seems to be a pretty heavy ID slant now.
So I'm wondering if all the attention given to ID is having an impact on efforts to move Creationism into public schools. Used to be that conservative school board members had only their own Biblical interpretation to work with, but these days they've likely at least heard of ID, and some may be pretty familiar with it. How receptive would a conservative Christian school board member be to adding YEC to the curriculum when he's at least minimally aware of ID arguments that include an ancient earth and ancienter universe? Same question for state boards of education who formulate textbook standards.
