It's *not* unconstitutional to teach kids total nonsense, propaganda, or lies, and no matter how bad an idea that might be, the courts would have no jurisdiction over the matter. If the court decided for the plaintiffs "because of intelligent design per se", they'd be overreaching their authority.

You miss my point. I was hoping that this case would establish, in the eyes of the court, that any teaching intelligent design constitutes an injection of religion into public education. The court can punt on that issue, here: ID was merely one tool in a cultist brainwashing program.

"I was hoping that this case would establish, in the eyes of the court, that any teaching intelligent design constitutes an injection of religion into public education."

I doubt this judge will go that far. He will just say Dover's efforts fail the Lemon test and therefore are unconstitutional. No "conservative" judge will stick his neck out that far. Judges hate to be overturned.

Now, a liberal judge is a total 'nother scary story....
