The brits always seem to get this kind of thing right. Should the US follow?

Yes, the U.S. should follow. I believe we should teach science in our science rooms, not speculation and bias. That is something better left for home or church.
Right on, mother country.

As there is no scientific basis for creationism, or intelligent design, then it should not be taught as science. I have no problem with it being taught in religious education where it belongs, as long as it is taught as part of a belief system, rather than as a theory.
We are already seeing what is happening in america with the rise of creationism, carefully hidden under the guise of ID, we don't want the same happening here.

Of course religious beliefs have no place in a science curriculum, and yes the US should follow (if the Dover case hasn't already knocked creationism on the head there).

Absolutely. Sadly, it will never happen, because people don't understand science very well here, and use the "Well, it is just a theory so shouldn't we teach other theories too?" line of reasoning, not knowing what the term theory means in science.

Yes. It only belongs in a comparative religion, philosophy, or social studies class. Science classes shoud teach science!

Yes and yes. Religion doesn't belong in a science class.

Yes, everyone should have outgrown this nonsense by now.
You can learn and practice morality w/o being coerced by the threats and bribes offered by religion.

Well, I don't think there should be a written law against it. There probably isn't a law against teaching other fairy tales in science class. Common sense should tell you that it doesn't need to be in science class.

Rather so. Intelligent, educated people can differentiate religion and science.
