We have a little of the same problem here - not that there are calls to bring it into the curriculum (it already it was there though the RE subject matter) but there prolly soon will be. I have no problem with it being included as long as the full meaning of the word "THEORY" is stressed - for all sides of the debate. I don't have issues with it - but I do have issues with the "fall down and worship" part, whichever side of the debate is talking. Intelligent design is an elegant solution, but one bound to instill deep inferiority in people if true. Darwinian is also elegant - and can be seen in action, but also bound to instill inferiority in some. (having said that I look around me and sometimes have to think that natural selection for the fittest to survive is *not* working, but that's maybe getting too political).
