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

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

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.

We're fighting for the 1st Amendment, the separation of church and state, and the integrity of schools. This trial should decide whether a school board can impose its religious views on other students.
