That would be a tough case, I think. The Dover debacle amounted to a one minute statement read once a year in a science class - it would be difficult to make the case that this exercise costs the taxpayers anything significant.
I'm just glad that a conservative, religious judge made the final call (if a liberal or atheist judge had done so, the public perception of the result may have turned out quite differently).
So am I.

The fraud isn't the cost (heck, the "Pandas" books were donated), it's the misrepresentation. Singling out Evo as though it were less well-grounded that electromagnetism or geology or whatever.
I approve of stickers in biology books, a la Cobb Co. Georgia, as long as they 1) are also in all the other science texts, and 2) include the names of all the responsible elected officials.
