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.
