The court made it perfectly clear: the school system has a duty to prevent children from adhering to their parents' beliefs.

But wait, we're constantly being told that ID is not a religion. It certainly isn't an attempt to sneak Christianity past the Constutional prohibition.

So which is it?

They've been doing for 40 years. Nothing new, when you think about it. This is just the newest incarnation of the war against traditional values and parental rights.

Talk about spin! The decision reiterated that public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs. If the parents don't like it, they always have the option of private school.

So you concede that ID really isn't science (which has no concern with "beliefs")?
