Make no mistake [board members] knew intelligent design was a form of creationism when they added it to the curriculum.

The intelligent-design movement is an effort to introduce creationism into the schools under a different name.

Board members in starkly religious terms changed the science curriculum to advance a specific religious viewpoint.

Intelligent design isn't science. It's old theology.

The case for intelligent design as a religious proposition is overwhelming, Clearly, no valid secular purpose can be derived from those facts.

Intelligent design does not belong in a high school biology class. ... It is an inherently religious doctrine that is a modern form of creationism, and this shell game has to end. This board wanted to trash evolution, not to teach it. It wanted to impose its religious views on others.
