After reading up on this, I find that Mr. Murchinson has misrepresented the judge's position.

The judge did NOT forbid instructing children that there are issues of evolution that are not yet explained by evolutionary theory.

The judge did NOT forbid teaching the concepts of Intelligent Design.

The judge DID forbid teaching the concepts of ID as science; but teaching it as philosophy is not restricted.

Mr. Murchinson's misrepresentations of what the judge said and did not say are sloppy at best and blatant lying at worst. It makes it impossible to take what he says seriously.

Why even forbid that in this case, since that was not what the school was doing? If your assessment of the judge's ruling is correct, then nothing has changed for the school.
