Congratulations lefties, Commies, and God haters. You have just contrubuted to even worse education for these children, now due to lack of funds. Pat yourself on the back, you have retained your dictatorship.
It's not "lefties, commies, and God haters" who incurred all of this useless expense. It's the former school board that rightfully got turned out of office, and LOST their dictatorship. It's a shame they decided to waste all that money this way, but they did.
The thread has pretty much gone the way I predicted - (paraphrased) "the transfer of 1 million worth of taxpayer money to the ACLU is OK because Dover needs to be punished". (Although some are incredibly trying to throw "pro-bono" in there allong with the 1 million). These people also claim to be conservatives.
Nutcases get sued.
Cool!
I hate the ACLU, but it was the idiots on the Dover school board, and their even dumber legal advisers that instigated this sure loser case by their actions.
Especially after Dover's legal team discovered that the board members had stated in meetings their desire to bring religious creationism into the classroom, and then started calling it "ID". And yet they didn't settle their sure loser case then and there, insuring even more money going to the ACLU.
This merely demonstrates the stupidity of the ID proponents. Not only is their science BS, but their legal judgment is too.
They've gone a long way to tarnish the conservative movement as stupid. There never was any "up side" to this case, even if they got ID into public schools. They've wasted their political capital when they could have fought abortion, or some other meaningful issue.
The supidity of this case again makes me think that ID is just bait by leftists to sucker stupid conservatives into doing something that we can never win, and will only hurt our other causes.
The advocates of "Intelligent Design" who arranged another fat payday for the ACLU via this ill conceived and dishonestly implemented policy, and the even more idiotic decision to defend it, were doubtless fools, and were certainly liars as proved in court, and one (per his own testimony) may even have been a drug addict... But lefties, Commies and God haters? I don't know where you get that.
