I went to the full article, and it sounds like all the school board did was have teachers mention that there was an alternate theory to evolution known as intelligent design.

No, the school board attempted to cloak their religious views in the guise of science, and teach it in school, which is constitutionally prohibited. A few things for you to consider:

1. ID is not a scientific theory. It was admitted under oath by Michael Behe, one of ID's guiding lights, that to consider ID science would require the definition of science to be broadened to include things like astronomy.

2. The board members were religiously motivated, and motive matters, despite the claims of certain legally clueless people that the law is entirely oblivious to motive.

That's all totally irrelevant. Religion should play no part in courtroom proceedings. It's really none of your business what religious motivations anybody has about anything you know. In fact, making such an accusation and demanding the court to take cognizance of the religious life of a litigant is pretty much the same as asking the state to persecute an Orthodox Jew for wearing his hair a certain way.

We would hope everybody was over that sort of cr*p.

What?
