Apparently the judge in this case has enjoined any teacher from disparging the theory or otherwise calling it into question. To even question the theory of evolution as it now stands is an unconstitutional establlishment of religion (at least in Dover).

Sorry, that's mistaken. The ruling says that ID cannot be taught in biology class because it's religion playing scientific dress-up. The ruling does not forbid the discussion of problems that must be addressed by any viable scientific theory of life's development on this planet. Evolution theory is a work in progress and can be presented as such.

Actually the ruling appears to enjoin the district from teaching or promoting any form of ID in any class, not just in Science classes.
