Judge Expels 'Intelligent Design'

(CBS/AP) "Intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.

Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum must include the notion that life on Earth was produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said. Several members repeatedly lied to cover their motives even while professing religious beliefs, he said.

Eric Rothschild, the lead attorney for the families who challenged the policy, called the ruling "a real vindication for the parents who had the courage to stand up and say there was something wrong in their school district."

There was no immediate comment from the other side.

"Several members repeatedly lied to cover their motives even while professing religious beliefs, he said."

... The GOP is going to have to really come out and take up arms against reason now (though I guess that's nothing new).

Damn he tore them to shreds

Edit - add comment.

On cnn this morning they were discussing the case and the ruling judge's decision was over a hundred and thirty pages long. He made it very clear that "id" was nothing more than creationism and is completely unconstitutional. :)
