This case was about Dover and nowhere else. So it was a local decision. School boards decide only for their locality, and not anywhere else. This is bad law, no matter what you think of the Dover SB ruling.

Obviously, it wasn't. This wasn't about teaching both sides in a local dispute about who owned that old house down the street and whether or not it should be preserved as an historic monument. IMO, how scientific theories are taught in government funded schools is not only a local issue, but an issue that involves the interests of the nation as a whole.
