Thanks Jodi- Clearly the judge didn't buy the ID arguement. Vis:
"this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. ***The breathtaking inanity of the Board’s decision *** (my emphasis) is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources. To preserve the separation of church and state mandated by the establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and Art. I, § 3 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, we will enter an order permanently enjoining Defendants from maintaining the ID Policy in any school within the Dover Area School District, from requiring teachers to denigrate or disparage the scientific theory of evolution, and from requiring teachers to refer to a religious, alternative theory known as ID." It would be nice to think that this ends the push for ID in the schools, but I'm not holding my breath. -Don. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mamma Roux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:21 am Subject: ID ruling > With all of the recent discussion concerning ID, a ruling against > it has > been just read in the Pennsylvania case. > > www.chicagotribune.com > I'm sure it's also in the other online papers as well. > > Jodi > > Jodi Gabert > Reed City HS > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --- > You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-tips- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
