Intelligent design by the way is at best pseudo-science and at worst ontological propaganda. They argue that: "Having it taught alongside evolution would be better since it gives another perspective and opens the minds of the students to other opinions". You see the Irony? with Intelligent design (religious propaganda) they act as if they are free spirits open to new horizons of knowledge, yet with a simple novel that deals with common issues of adolescence, in this case paganism imagery, they treat it as an evil scourge that should snuffed out, lest it will corrupt the impressionable minds of youth.
