Johnson's pushing lies and trying to get them taught to school children.

Someone said "When I read Darwin I knew I was in the presence of a genius. When I read Johnson, I knew I was in the presence of a lawyer".

He should not only be stopped, he should be locked up for attempted child abuse.

As long as he sticks to publishing, he's protected by the First Amendment.

I have advocated on other threads that the Dover School Board should have been impeached for high crimes by the Pa. Legislature (to wit: State law mandates that the school boards provide for science education, the Dover Board was attempting to smuggle non-science into science class, therefore they are guilty of misfeasance (or is it malfeasance?)).

That should also have been sued, as individuals, for fraud. I'm not sure whether simply lying to children constitutes abuse in the legal sense.

The advantages to taking these routes are 1) conviction on high crimes carries a life time ban on holding public office, and 2) it applies to other frauds like Afrocentric history and Ebonics, where there is no 1st Amendment issue.

LOL. Sounds about right.

That is a good idea. I'm satisfied with the way it turned out, because they were rebuked both in the courtroom and at the ballot box, showing this nonsense is not only bad law, but bad policy, (if only Republicans learn this lesson.) Given the way that the society is, they probably would have sued the State for impeaching them.
