Judge Rules Against PA Biology Curriculum
A federal judge ruled that "intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in the classroom.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III wrote in his ruling that "The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the the ID policy." Apparently the voters agree; because, in November, voters ousted 8 school board members who decided to turn science on its ear and claim that intelligent design had merit enough to be mentioned as an alternative to Evolution Theory.
Jones also found that this group of stalwart Christian soldiers "repeatedly lied to cover their motives, even while professing religious beliefs." This is a very important finding, in that, it recognizes that ID theorists hide behind a very, very thin veil of science as they try to impose their religious beliefs onto the nation's classrooms.
This is quite a fitting end to the farce that has taken place in Dover in the last year. The fight is far from over, however. The religiosos are gathering strength at the local level, where they hope to install school boards that are sympathetic, if not publicly supportive, of their agenda to turn classrooms into a weekday extension of Sunday school.
Please be aware of what your local candidates stand for and what they would do with the power of your vote. Just like termites, it's easy for them to get in and very difficult to get them out.
