For the scientists, it's about science. The ACLU had just found the hot button issue to get science's backing. To tell the truth, I really don't think they give a rat's posterior about whether science is being taught correctly or not as long as they can further their agenda using it.

We agree on this. But the school board didn't start this ball rolling in order to attack the ACLU. The school board's motives were entirely religious. There are ways to attack the ACLU when they're stretching the law to support some leftist cause (science isn't leftist, by the way, any more than math is leftist). I disagree with the ACLU on virtually everything, but in this one case -- whatever their motives -- they're on the right side (pretty much like a broken clock).

It was really, really a huge mistake to attack science education and thus hand the lefties a no-brainer sure-win issue, if you think about it.
