"the answer to your question is FEAR"
And the answer to why you ask that question is DENIAL. Of the fact that, since 2005, when in the case of Kitzmiller vs. Dover Judge John E. Jones III declared in his finding for the plaintiffs, that as 'Intelligent Design' (and thus Creationism) was promoted (in the testimony by Creationists such as Michael Behe) in at best a slapdash way, and at worst made their case a complete laughingstock, he had no choice but to acknowledge the credibility of the evidence for Evolution. Thus, by the precedent set in this case, the teaching of 'I.D.' (and therefore Creationism) in all accredited educational establishments in the US is now illegal and unconstitutional.
The so-called 'truth' of 'I.D.' has been proven to be lies. Ergo, Evolution is fact. QED.
The law says so.
PROTIP: Judge John E. Jones III is a Conservative Christian. He was pesonally appointed to the Federal bench by president George Dumbya Bush - who is a Conservative Christian who believes in Creationism. George Dumbya Bush was voted in - twice - by you & your Conservative Christian ilk, soli deo gloria.
So, not only was the educational agenda of the Religious Right ultimately destroyed by you of the Religious Right, your lack of foresight (blinded by your own 'Faith') ensured that your own beliefs ('I.D.') were ultimately proven wrong by YOU.
Ultimately you have helped advance the cause of we, your nemesis, Atheists, in ways that not even we Atheists could've imagined. And for that, we thank you. For you & your ilk helping to destroy you & your ilk. And we Atheists didn't even have to lift a finger.
Let your tiny fundie mind chew on that, soli deo gloria. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I love the smell of Hubris in the morning. Smells like... victory.

"Should Frankenstein be mandatory reading material for biology?"
Just as Jules Verne predicted the invention of the fax machine in his novel "Around the World in 80 Days", it's been said that Mary Shelley (in the Gothic Novel "Frankenstein: Or A Modern Prometheus", acknowledged as the first Sci-Fi book) predicted cybernetic and biomechanical research (even before Martin Caidin's novel "Cyborg", which inspired "The Six Million Dollar Man").

"Until then, ID should be a Religious Studies topic, and prefaced by 'some people believe that...'"
Post-2005, it is in the US. Kitzmiller vs. Dover ensures that 'I.D.' can only be taught in Religious Education/Comparative Religions classes. Anywhere else (certainly in science classes) it's illegal and unconstitutional. Forced Atheism. Good. And (as proved above), it's all the fundies' own fault.
