Update on Sticker Shock

Attacks on Darwin's Theory and the teaching of Evolution are not confined to the Bible Belt. In Pennsylvania,the Dover Area School Board is being sued by the ACLU. The school board voted last October to teach Intelligent Design in 9th Grade Biology class. The Intelligent Design Theory hypothesizes that since all living organisms are so complex, they must have been created by a divine being and could not have evolved on their own.

The parents who are part of the lawsuit complain religious teachings have no place in the science classroom, but should be taught in comparative World Religion classes instead.

On the other hand, one parent is quoted in the linked article: "I think there should be religion in school. That's the problem. There's not enough of it," Dover resident Donna Harbold said.
