Dini reworked his criteria so that it could not be read as requiring a "belief" in evolution to avoid running afoul of the free exercise clause so that he might continue to remain on the public payroll.

Oh, but I thought you disapproved of the Federal Courts being brought into it? Doesn't Dini, as part of his right to free speech, have the right to decide who he writes letters of recommendation for? And isn't the intervention of the federal government, to force someone to write a letter recommending someone, a far more egregious intrusion than a federal government preventing a school broad from adopting a certain curriculum?
