What exactly was the school district's policy? Did they require teachers to say some adominable thing like, "The theory of evolution has critics, some of which propose an alternate theory called intelligent design"? Is that their crime?

The big problem was they tried to present ID as an alternate scientific theory (which it isn't) and perjured themselves in saying there was no religious agenda behind their decision.

I'm still waiting, probably in vain, for the perjury charges against these guys.

Yes.

But this million dollar hit shows other school districts that Darwin's 150 yr old theory (theory) must not be challenged by any mention of the possibility of consciously purposeful design. Thus childrens' minds are safe from harmful influence. Sounds like 1 million is a bargain price for such an uncluttered scientific approach to studying the origin of life.

As far as I understand it, that indeed was the horrible offense.
