Kitzmiller v. Dover School District

2005

Venue: PA Dist Ct.

Facts: School board requires info about ID in biology class.

Posture: Suit in district court.

Issue: Does this establish a religion?

Holding: Yes.

Rule: This imposes a religious view of biological origins in the biology course.

Reasoning: Whatever ID is, it's not science. It's religion. There's nothing wrong with religion, but it's obvious that the only reason for including it is the advancement of religion.
