I find that specific argument (that you want to have) spurious. Because if we have choice, why would you care about whether ID is taught in some schools? Unless you are interested in controlling other people’s kids that is.

This is really getting rediculous. I have no desire to tell anyone what they teach their kids. But it’s rediculous to include ID in publicly funded schools. Not only because it is a thoroughly modern version of creationism, designed specifically to get around constitutional limitations, but it because it isn’t science. It isn’t anything. It is comparable to teaching flat earth as a valid alternative. To teach it as science is encouraging kids to be stupid. And at minimum, we all have a stake in not doing that.
Now you want to teach it in a private school? Go ahead and make your kids stupid. But I really don’t want to pay for it. Not because it’s religion. Because it’s stupid. There is no final constitional answer as to whether school vouchers are allowed under the law. But “vouchers for stupidity” isn’t a real good selling point.
