Unlike others who can only claim to have been expelled, professional science educator Chris Comer was actually forced to resign from her position because of her stance on intelligent design.

Now she is fighting back.

In early November, 2007, Comer was forced to resign from her job as Science Curriculum Director at the Texas Education Agency (TEA) after forwarding an e-mail about an upcoming talk by Barbara Forrest. According to this story in the Dallas Morning News, Comer is suing the TEA and Education Commissioner Robert Scott for illegal termination.

Most importantly, the suit is specifically intended to bring about change by challenging the constitutionality of the requirement that TEA employees must remain neutral on the subject of Creationism. The entire lawsuit is 70 pages long and includes many new details concerning the case.
