Worth repeating:
The El Tejon case, AU [Americans United] maintained, was even more problematic because it relied heavily on “young-earth” creationist materials that insist that the biblical Book of Genesis is literally true and is scientific a controversial view held by many fundamentalists but rejected by other Christians. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the teaching of creationism in public schools in 1987.

I won't be successful in heading off those who claim that this is somehow an "anti-Christian" result, but this should take care of that incorrect argument:

The "Clergy Letter Project". 10,000 clergymen endorse evolution.
Statements from Religious Organizations. In favor of evolution.

Exactly. And as we saw on a previous thread, the Discovery Institute dissociated itself from the El Tejon district as soon as they found out it was really a YEC course.
