"SCOPES IN REVERSE"

We've been there...We don't need to go back! "Intelligent Design"? Come on, teach that crap in Sunday school or maybe in philosophy class, but science class? Excellent article about 11 parents in Dover, Pennsylvania who are fighting for what's right against a bunch of liars on the school board and what I suspect would be, a community with a few religious zealots who think the 1st Amendment is a line somewhere in their hymn book. "Intelligent design is not science, has no support from any major American scientific organization and does not belong in a public school science classroom, a prominent biologist testified on the opening day of the nation's first legal battle over whether it is permissible to teach the fledgling "design" theory as an alternative to evolution. "To my knowledge, every single scientific society that has taken a position on this issue has taken a position against intelligent design and in favor of evolution," said the biologist, Kenneth R. Miller, a professor at Brown University and the co-author of the widely used high school textbook "Biology." Eleven parents in the small town of Dover, just south of here, are suing their school board for introducing intelligent design in the ninth-grade biology curriculum. The parents accuse the board of injecting religious creationism into science classes in the guise of intelligent design."
