I also find it ironic that the pendulum has swung the other way. 150 years ago, someone claiming to be an evolutionist would have been flamed and pretty much ridiculed out of the scientific community (or at least out of VG Chartz, if such website existed 150 years ago).
Now its the other way around and "Intelligent Design" is the new 4-letter word in science.
My opinion on the matter is that we could reach some sort of balance.
I have no objection against ID people having their own college courses. If such a demand is there, then there should be a class about it. At this point, however, my opinion is that it should be held as a general elective (much like how theology or philosophy can be general electives). If people want to learn about creationism, then they are certainly welcome to do so. People who subscribe to evolution can still take their evolutionary biology classes.
