I don't think that ID should be taught as a specific class or topic.

I do however think that teaching religon from an acedemic stand point is important - especially the big 5 (Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Part of which would include various creation theories as they are important aspects.

Understanding religious points of view is important to understanding culture and politics. It also avoids ignorance that causes people to make sweeping generalizations about people who follow particular religons. Basically, I think it would help build tolerance.
