"Intelligent Design" in Public Schools

In December 2004 eleven parents filed suit against the Dover (Pennsylvania) Area School Board in federal district court after the school board established a policy that biology teachers must read a statement about Intelligent Design at the beginning of the unit on evolution.  The trial, Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School Board, is going on now.  For more information, see the website of the National Center for Science Education (which opposes the teaching of Intelligent Design) and the Discovery Institute (a proponent of Intelligent Design).
