These people deserve to be bashed. The next thing they'll say would contradict another established scientific theory and then they would ask to include it in curriculum.

That statement could be made about anyone contradicting any well established theory. I am not putting the ID guy on a pedestal with Galileo or some such sacrificed truth seeker. All I am saying is that beleif in ID is not like child molestation for which one should be expelled from job.

Would you fire someone for teaching that the earth is at the center of the universe? Because ID pretty much falls into the same category. What people should be doing is being upfront about the reasons for firing rather than trying to hide them.

Clarification: Firing is only relevant if they are actually teaching life sciences. If they aren't then it is a personal belief and doesn't really matter

Your clarification was actually my next point. Many of them were in fields not remotely connected with biology.
