The Intelligently Designed Curriculum

The President of The University of Idaho has banned intelligent design (ID) in its science classes. So far, the only serious complainer at Inside Higher Ed is a man named Donnell Duncan, and his (supposedly) best argument (he says, about one of my comments, that he "could not have said it better [himself]") is that ID should be taught in the classroom because ID "does not fit into science" (his words) and that by bringing it up, science professors could demonstrate just that point in class.

Wait a minute. His claim is that we should teach ID in science classes because ID can then be proven unscientific. Why waste the time?
