I consider the Pandas book (which I haven't read, BTW) to be well within the ambit of free speech.

So do I, BB. Who doesn't? But that's not what the case was all about. Have you made a serious attempt to read the judge's opinion? Kitzmiller et al. v Dover Area School District et al..

Have you made a serious attempt to read the judge's opinion?

The judge's opinion is just that -- an opinion. In the sense of the ancient Greek term, doxa, which must be contrasted with another Greek term, episteme. The latter refers to truthful knowledge. The former, to whatever the spirit of the age thinks "the truth" is.

Regarding the opinion itself, I think Judge Jones should have spent a little more time analyzing the constitutional requirements before rendering it.

But I gather he was just too busy imagining himself as the great presider over the Second Coming of the Scopes trial. FWIW.

Again, Patrick -- do you want a rule of law that is equal for all, or do you prefer a rule of men -- provided they think like you do?
