In Lebec, California, parents represented by Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued to prevent the school from even offering an elective philosophy class on intelligent design. In Dover, Pennsylvania, a small group of parents backed by the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued to prevent any discussion of intelligent design in a ninth grade biology class. The school had to pay their legal fees — $1 million.

“So that's that. after Dover, no school district will dare breathe a word about “intelligent design,” unless they want to risk being bankrupted by ACLU lawsuits. The Darwinists have saved the secular sanctity of their temples: the public schools.” — Ann Coulter, Godless, page 200.

Oh, you mean the class taught by a phys ed instructor that had no training in the sciences or philosophy and the course used only video-tapes which presented the creationist's side as fact and did not present both sides and the course that argued against evolution by presenting 'facts' to the contrary which would make it a 'science' course not a philosophy course. Oh yeah, this was not about philosophy but a crude attempt to put out garbage by an unqualified phys ed instructor (who by the way, just happened to be the wife of a local minister and a proponent of creationism). You can teach the garbage all you want. That does not mean you have the right to use taxpayer dollars for that and put out garbage to students in the public school system.

Interesting that you bring up the Dover case. Isn’t that where the ID experts testified that it should be taught in clase that the Intelligent Designer was most probably dead? Would you want your kid coming home from school crying saying that he was taught in school that God was dead?
