The complaint (1.6M PDF) cites a policy of rejecting high school biology courses that use textbooks published by Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books as "inconsistent with the viewpoints and knowledge generally accepted in the scientific community." Such a policy, the complaint alleges, infringes on the plaintiffs' rights to "freedom of speech, freedom from viewpoint discrimination, freedom of religion and association, freedom from arbitrary discretion, equal protection of the laws, and freedom from hostility toward religion."

But... but... but... the "intelligent design" people insist that they are simply offering an alternative scientific theory, and have nothing to do with any particular religious viewpoint.

Surely they couldn't have been... this is difficult, so I shall fall back on the Houyhnhms' euphemism... saying the thing which is not?

Why, next I might have to consider the possibility that the previous President of the United States was less than completely candid with the American people....

My favorite allegation is "freedom from viewpoint discrimination," a concept without even the pretense of justification or precedent.
