I have no objection to informing children that a tiny minority of scientists
hold dissenting views. If that was all the anti-evolutionists wanted, there
would probably be no problem. But you're wrong. They're demanding much more
than that. Indeed, the Kansas school board removed references to evolution
and the age of the Earth from the state education standards. And IDers are
trying to have ID taught in public schools.
It seems to me you're seriously understating the aims of IDers. I find it
hard to believe that Phillip Johnson "favor[s] teaching children orthodox
Darwinism"!
