The debate over intelligent design in the classroom is continually in the news and sparks many strong feelings among educators and members of school communities. This documentary examines the concept of intelligent design and offers a series of articles focusing on religion in schools. Interviews, audio transcripts, and related links round out this balanced view of a rather thorny topic.
