GWB: "Teach Intelligent Design"

Now here is a topic I never thought a modern Republican president would touch.

President Bush (search) said Monday he believes schools should discuss "intelligent design" alongside evolution when teaching students about the creation of life.
During a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, Bush declined to go into detail on his personal views of the origin of life. But he said students should learn about both ideas, Knight Ridder Newspapers reported.

Amazing. I am one who thinks that Christians tend to talk about evolution too much, since the truth or falsity of macro-evolution (Christians accept micro-evolution) has no bearing on one's salvation. But it is nice to see a modern politician - one whose career is NOT over - willing to take a stand.
