No, Intelligent Design (ID) should not be taught in schools, at least not public ones. Intelligent Design is not scientific fact. It could be taught in a comparative religion class along with other myths.
Federal Courts have ruled that ID is not science but is simply the repackaged religious concept of creationism. Because of that, it cannot be legally taught in public schools.

Why is Intelligent Design taught in some states of the US alongside Evolution?
AnswerThe USA has a huge pressure from its creationist population who are very vociferous to reintroduce religion into the biology classroom. Many of these people probably think that only ID should be taught and that evolution is wrong. It's a pity as its a backwards step in education. If more people understood evolution, it would be more accepted.AnswerThe United States may well be under pressure from certain Christian groups who want creationism, or intelligent design, taught alongside (or sometimes in place of) evolution; however, only private schools may incorporate these teachings into their curriculum.Public schools are not allowed to teach "intelligent design" because they are supported by tax money, per the US Supreme Court decision in Edwards v. Aguillard, 482 US 578 (1987). Intelligent design is inherently a non-scientific religious theory; using state and federal funding to promulgate religious ideology in public school is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Why is intelligent design not allowed in schools?
Other answers from our community:Because teachers don't want people "forcing" their beliefs on others.MY opinion: they should allow both teachings.Because people are, by and large, intolerant. Especially of ideas for which, not only have no scientific proof, but also are religious or faith based. These two facts make it that much easier for people with wealth, power, and influence to keep it out of the public school system. Put that together with the overall apathy of the general public, its unwillingness to take a stand for anything, and that disgusting state of being that we call "political correctness", and you get schools with no 'intelligent design' in their curriculum.

Should creationism be taught in public schools?
Absolutely - it should be taught in classes pertaining to religion. There are many forms of creationism from many different religions. I think it is important for children to know about religions and creationism is part of the beliefs of some religious groups. I do not think it should be 'taught' but children should be taught of it. (There is a difference) That is just my opinion though and I respect the opinions of anybody who disagrees with me. And I encourage them to add their opinions. As for teaching young earth creationism or intelligent design in science class - absolutely not. Neither belief has a shred of empirical evidence to back them up, are untestable, unfalsifiable, and unable to make predictions - therefore, they are categorically unscientific in nature.
