“Intelligent Design” ruled unconstitutional in the US

So, the judge in Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover Area School District, et al. has ruled that:


“The proper application of both the endorsement and Lemon tests to the facts of this case makes it abundantly clear that the Board’s ID Policy violates the Establishment Clause. In making this determination, we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that it is not, and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.”

So now “Intelligent Design” like its parent, Creationism, is now barred from being taught in public schools as an alternative to Evolution in that school district, & a precedent for the rest of the country. Common sense prevails!

Google News has all the reporting.
