The establishment cheered when Aristotle's theories were protected from "denigration" by the authorities too.

It's bizarre that the 14th Amendment overturned the First Amendment. Now we have federal Inquisitions that decide what can be spoken of in schools.

If God exercised as much power as a federal judge with the 14th Amendment we'd have no free will at all. Being wise He doesn't.

I think you've got it backwards, mrsmith. The Dover School Board, a political entity, decided that it was going to intervene in science classrooms and determine what will be taught there. That little spasm of bad judgment started this whole legal maelstrom.
