Yes. That's what I mean. To take the moral high ground, I think it is fine to teach in philosophy, general studies or Religious Education, but I (and the scientific community) have proven time and time again the it falls well outside the bounds of science, so teaching it in science classes is a braindead decision.
I think that is one of the causes of this problem in America: no religious education/studies. In the UK it is a mandatory subject until the end of the GCSEs, and while it is in no way a popular subject, it does tend to serve as a "vent release" for these kinds of problems. It isn't a subject of indoctrination: many religions are taught in a purely acedemic way.
On a side note: I think it is admirable that many religious people who do not "believe" in evolution by natural selection made up a large portion of the groups keeping ID and creationism outside the science classes.
