A school board is citizens and it represents citizens. The citizens have a "free speech" right, among other rights both individual and as a community. For as a community -- AS LEGALLY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES -- it is to the school board to dictate what is taught -- even what may be said -- by teachers in that community's schools.

A Judge, a federal judge, non-elected, having NO authority to represent the community in such a issue, ruled not only that the school board may not speak a certain thing -- speech by label on a book -- but ordered that we we speak of science or teach of science that only the orthodoxy of the modern Darwinism be taught and spoke of. The Judge overstepped, and stole rightful authority. He stole not only "free speech" rights, but many others.

Actually, a school board does not have the right to impose religious doctrine on school curriculum, even though the board members, as individuals, have the right to write and publish editorials opposing this restriction.

False. The school board is chartered by state law, and may not violate it. If the state law mandates that science be taught, then teaching ID as though it were science is a high crime, and the high criminals on the board should be impeached, tried by the state senate, and forever banned from holding any office.

Actually, the plaintiff parents (Kitzmiller et al) represented the community. The evildoers on the school board were voted out of office before Jones' ruling.

The judge represents the rule of law - in this case, he ruled that the Dover school board was violating the 1st Amendment. The evidence was unequivocal.

The school board lacks both the authority and the expertise to decide what biology is - only scientists can do that. Since over 99% of biologists agree that the ToE is an integral part of biology, that's that.

Making up false "controversies" as though they actualy existed in science is mistreating children by lying to them, and should be tried civilly as well as in the state senate.
