Weak Professor, very weak. Your shortcomings are not my responsibility.

But heck, for the benefit of us all why don't you take us throught the machinations that allows the words "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...." to be interpreted to mean that the federal government has the power to intervene when the Dover school board requires a statement telling its students that the ToE has gaps.

I'm never to old to learn something new.

It would be useful for you to actually learn what the statement says. That was paragraph 1. Paragraph 2 states.

Intelligent Design is and explanation of the Origin of Life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People is available for students to see if they would like to explore this view in an effort to gain an understanding of what Intelligent Design actually involves. As is true with any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind.

Of Pandas and People is the text that was written as an exposition of creationism, in which the phrase 'intelligent design' was substituted for 'creationism' at the last minute.

In other words, the statement is clear promotion of a religious dogma - creationism - for non-secular purposes.

You can read the entire complaint here.
