That's what this whole battle is about.

No, the battle is about whether parents have any say in the education of their children. They keep trying to allow creation and ID be addressed in the schools that their own tax money is funding to educate their own children and certain leftist elements are not allowing it. The leftist elements sue into about bankruptcy any district who dares to violate their ideologies.

Evolution alone is not being taught in public schools because it's the will of the public, but because the school districts are being cowed by the threat of lawsuits they can't afford. It's easier to capitulate to the threats from the minority leftists than bear the financial burden of the lawsuits.

If the general public did not want creation and/or ID taught in schools along with evolution, they would not keep voting in school boards who would allow it.

As I said above,

In other words, you want your religious beliefs taught as if they were science?

You aren't even trying to pretend ID is science any more.
