Merry Kitzmas!

Three years ago today, the honorable Judge John E. Jones, III issued his 139-page ruling in the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial that barred intelligent design from being taught in Pennsylvania's Middle District public school science classrooms.

Three years...has it really been that long? Sometimes it seems like yesterday.

"Intelligent Design" may no longer be the phrase of choice, but anti-science activity is still prevalent across the country. As Cheryl mentioned in the previous post, the latest phrase of choice is "Academic Freedom."

Isn't it interesting how the same movement that once tried to ban evolution from the classroom is now arguing for academic freedom?

I guess evolution can be observed after all.

The coming year promises to bring many more challenges to the teaching of REAL science in public school classrooms, and we'll do our best to keep you informed about them.

Have a joyous and festive holiday season!
