Also here's one instance of it being taught recently. It was overturned and the school dropped it from their curriculum but none the less it was taught. I don't know for how long but none the less it's a modern example.
Excerpt from a 2005 news article:
"The controversy divided Dover and surrounding Dover Township, a rural area of nearly 20,000 residents about 20 miles south of Harrisburg. It galvanized voters to oust eight school board members who supported the policy in the Nov. 8 school board election. The ninth board member was not up for re-election.
The new school board president, Bernadette Reinking, said the board intends to remove intelligent design from the science curriculum and place it in an elective social studies class."

I draw from this story that it was being taught, parents got pissed and took it to court. So regardless of how long they were teaching it, this case is well outside of the 1967 date my opponent is quoting.
