Since when does the President of the United States dictate to schools how and what to teach?
If you ask me it is a rather Castro-esque thing to do.
If you ask me America's children have fallen far enough behind the Chinese in math and science without letting a man that can't pronounce "nuclear" set educational policy for tens of millions of children.
Furthermore, the "intelligent design" or "watchmaker" theory is plagiarized straight from the Bible (see Wisdom of Solomon) and masquerades as science among only the hopelessly uncritical. This religious teaching does not belong in a fact-based discipline like a science course, except to demonstrate the shortcomings of an ideologically driven approach to learning.
If people want religion taught in the schools why should it be at the expense of science?
If people want their children to be that dumb, why don't they just stick to inbreeding and/or home-schooling?
Bibleology?
