The truth is your best defense.
The school board members are perjurers. Dishonest charlatans.
They thought they could get around the Constitution. They knew what they were doing was wrong, which is why they repeatedly lied about it (including under oath), and why they had to try and hide the money trail.
They deserved to lose. There's no mystery as to why the Discovery Institute tried to distance itself from these losers since the very beginning - the decision was inevitable from the start.
I know that; tell it to the OP. He seems to be on their side.
A couple of my favorite examples (out of *many*) of clear perjury by these so-called "good Christians" are:
1. Former Dover Area School Board member Bill Buckingham stated under oath during the trial that said he never read about his activities on the school board in the newspapers and never talked to anyone about them. He also said he never mentioned creationism at school board meetings or in the press or anywhere.
The plaintiffs then played a Fox 43 TV interview from June 2004 in which Buckingham said, "My opinion, it's OK to teach Darwin, but you have to balance it with something else, such as creationism."
2. Buckingham also said that he didn't know where the 60 copies of the "ID" book, "Of Pandas and People" had come from. That's pretty funny, since Buckingham himself had asked for donations at his church for the book, raised $850 for the purpose, then wrote a check dated Oct. 4, 2004, to Donald Bonsell, the father of board member Alan Bonsell, for that amount with a note saying the money was for "Pandas" books.
Do not include me in your moral relative drama...
