Dope-winian democrats.

"...I'm pretty sure the Constitution doesn't say anything about schools or scientific theories."

Nope but it does say something about government establishing religion....

What would be nice is that if along with keeping the school from establishing religion in science class, the courts would also reaffirm that each individual's right religious expression does not end when we set foot on public property -it just shouldn't be part of the curriculum.

have been horrified at the prospect of a federal judge telling folks in Dover what they should or should not teach their 14-year-olds.

I have no problem with what they teach their 14 year olds. I have a problem with what they want to teach my 14 year old.

If they want to make their kids stupid, so be it. After all, when they grow up, my kids will need someone to wash their toilets.

[Amish with an attitude]

Another case of Democrats landing squarely on the wrong side of an issue: War on terrorism, Gun rights, Abortion...

[Deut28]

I'm shocked!

I never knew that the Dover school board had the power to establish a religion.

What religion are they trying to establish?

More and more it seems the answer is to set up private schools and remove out children from the clutches of these kooks.

Nice reporting by that other Times. I think it should become the Newspaper Of Record.

The burning question is not whether life on Earth was created or evolved. Rather, the great mystery is why the content of ninth-grade science classes in tiny Dover, Pa., should merit the attentions of the federal judiciary.

I don't claim to be a constitutional scholar, but I'm pretty sure the Constitution doesn't say anything about schools or scientific theories. In fact, I think it fair to say that James Madison and his fellow Founders would have been horrified at the prospect of a federal judge telling folks in Dover what they should or should not teach their 14-year-olds. Yet the boundless ambition of undemocratic Democrats will not permit dissent.

This case is an excellent argument for home-schooling. I doubt that the Founders had in mind the bloated behemoth we call our public school system.

[Right Wing Professor]

The article is false. The Dover CARES slate of candidate opposing the School Board (who, it appears perjured themselves and also engaged in a conspiracy to commit perjury at the trial) consists of half Democrats and half Republicans . They agree mainly that the current School Board are a bunch of morons.

And while the school may not have been turned into a revival meeting, it appears some school board meetings were, with the Chair of the School Board talking aboput taking a stand sfor a man who died on the cross for them, and his wife giving extended reliigous testimony.

[MEGoody]

To hear Mrs. Callahan tell it, the school board thereby surrendered Dover's science curriculum to a Bible-thumping theocracy.

As opposed to a brow-beating, evolution-believing aristocracy?

[anthraciterabbit]

Nobody defends any sort of a science theory the way evolution is defended. Only religions and lifestyles get defended like that.

[ZULU]

Democrarts are actually anti-Darwinian.

They are living proof evolution can reverse itself.
