Love the story title!!
Fantastic little writeup.
Imagine a contract that said "Party A reserves the right to void the contract at any time." What would be the point of the contract for Party B?
Max Borders must not really read many contract because many contracts do say just that. I also believe that the default in any contract that does not specifiy a duration is often that either party can terminate the contract at will with notice. So what's the point of a contract like that and why would Party B accept it? The point is that it allows the two parties to work together and it's often the price of doing business with Party A -- and Party B has a need to do business with Party A. And I think there is a great ID vs. Evolution analogy in there...

Douglas Kern must admit the sheer number of troglodytic bible-thumpers in the Creationist ranks
I've had the opportunity to speak with a couple of teachers at the school district and they are acting as if they are being asked to slit their own wrists in front of their class. I suggested to them that as employees of the school district they are contractually bound to teach the course as directed by the board. If they don't like it, they could always get another job.
Heresy!
To drive home the point I suggested that should work to defeat the school board. After all they are local & elected, and so can be removed at the next election. I warned them that having a judge decide is far less desireable since it probably is irreversible except through appeal (unlikely). What if the decision doesn't go 'your way'?
