OK, the subject matter is evolution, which is a very small part of science.
But if a student asks the teacher how this can be, when his church has been touting inteligent design, I can see the teacher explaining the difference between faith and science.

However, if the student is deliberately trying to introduce ID as the real truth, then the teacher can use this law to head off the debate.

And, ID should never be part of the curriculum.

By the same token, though, it shouldn't be absolutely ruled out, either, which is I think what happens in some classrooms.

Meaning that because a teacher is teaching evolution, they should not be able to declare that evolution means that God or no higher power was involved.

If we're going to keep faith or belief in God/Higher Power out of the equation, it has to stay all the way out.

"ID" should be absolutely ruled out, because it is a lie. It is pretending to be science in order to try to weasel its way into public schools, and it is in no way science.
