Taxpayers can have a say in what gets taught at their schools but they don't get to have a say on what is science and what isn't. In science, facts are determined by evidence and experimentation, not by popular vote.

If the school wants to teach about ID or creationism that's okay but find some other class to do it in besides science classes. Cause it ain't science. Period.

Good talking points, but many scientists do think ID is science. It's funny how the Darwin Fundies in the trial never addressed the science that the ID supporters presented.

That's immaterial. They can teach that red is blue and blue is red if they choose. They would be wrong and stupid, but it's not up to a judge to decide these things. I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland!

Science and Democracy, let the kids decide.

The can also vote on whether they're in favor of the Cosmological Constant or whether Black Holes are just a figment of Steven Hawking's imagination.

But a judge does? Be careful what you wish for; you just may get it.

Cordially,
