and that material critical of evolution, when entered with the purpose of furthering ID, is in itself impermissible

Well, THAT sure sounds like a furthering of the scientific principle -- can't have any material critical of evolution in those science classes, since it is so OBVIOUS that any such material, however factually accurate, can only be introduced to further ID, since all real scientists wouldn't question anything about Evolution.

That statement is so bizarre that I actually doubt the ruling actually says it.

That's not true. The ruling doesn't preclude the teaching of Lysenkoism, for example, or Lamarckism (which is actually very different). These are purely secular and scientific (albeit falsified) theories.

Learn to read. And lose the hysteria. It's unmanly.
