The courtroom setting is not conducive to "intelligent discussion." I've been there.
That is supposedly what classrooms are for. Unfortunately it seems that classroom discussion of this issue is now verbotten.
Thank you for your post!
When you open your mouth and claim you got science and you end up in court and produce nothing, it means you truely have nothing. When the court uncovers that lies regarding peer review and lies regarding motivations, you don't look very intelligent. Zeitgeist ain't and excuse, neither is presription drug use for perjury.
The court determined the product was defective, not science and entirely backed by religious motivations. Such religiously motivated junk science doesn't belong in the science classroom. That includes honoring it, by allowing an official school board statement, indicating it is a valid scientific theory and alternative to the bulk of biological science.
Also, at the HS classroom level, such discussions are inappropriate for anything other than brief chit chat, because the subject is above their heads. School at this level is not for discussion of these topics. It is for training and not wasting time on junk science.
