Talk:Intelligent design in politics

Other countries
This article focuses on the United States, where the political debate is probably the most vivid. How is the situation in other countries? I know that in the Netherlands, a smaller debate is going on after Maria van der Hoeven, (minister of education, culture and science), said that she saw something in the concept of ID and desired a debate between scientist and the educationl field about the issue. In March 2005 she wrote on her weblog: "If we succeed to connect scientists with different religious views, ID can maybe be taught on schools and in lessons". After that some debate has arisen and is still going on, although not with the heat that the debate in the US has.

NASA
Should former NASA press officer George Deutsch attempts to advocate for intelligent design within that organization be included in this article or in the Intelligent Design Movement article? Since he is a Bush administration appointee it would make sense he belongs in this article. Any opinions? Mr Christopher 18:37, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

cases vs. trials
I think having these two sections is confusing because Dover gets discussed twice. I feel that the Dover sections be merged into one section. If this happens, that leaves only one more topic under that section, the Berkley trial. Therefore, I would also suggest moving the whole Berkley section up, and getting rid of the legal battles section completely. --Andrew c 21:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. The article structure would then be about 20 level 2 headings though; maybe some other broader headings could be devised (e.g. chronological)? Richard001 (talk) 05:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Third paragraph in lead
This paragraph state:

I can see two problems with this: HrafnTalkStalk 05:16, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) The focus hasn't been solely on these two, and has in fact shifted completely away from these two onto Academic Freedom bills & Strengths and weaknesses of evolution‎ in the last year.
 * 2) KvD essentially killed 'Teach the Controversy' (along with explicit teaching of ID), as it specifically condemned it.

Kansas 2005
Though it was somewhat clarified, later in the section, as a "conservative" board majority, the 2005 Kansas Board of Education four-member minority had consisted of moderate Republicans and Democrats. Activist (talk) 13:57, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
