Ken Miller (Brown University) recently spoke here at Tufts, and during Q & A
he addressed this issue. As I recall it, he said that there are active
movements to get ID into European schools.

Just last week the Council of Europe, a 47-country human rights
organization, voted to approve a resolution urging European schools not to
teach creationism as science. I don't know much about the background to
that, but I suspect they acted in response to pressure in the opposite
direction. 

One Minster of Education and Cultural Affairs in Germany, Karin Wolff
(Christian Democratic Union party), spoke publicly in support of teaching ID
in schools a few months ago.

In terms of distributed versus centralized control of the curriculum, I see
centralized systems as even more at risk than distributed systems because
one individual could change a huge proportion of schools in the former, but
that seems less likely in the latter.
