| Students are required to listen to Creationist blather before their
biology class, are told they are not permitted to ask questions, and are
disrespected by being told they can only communicate their desire to leave
the room during the nonsense via parental proxy.
Just another exciting day at your local Gub'ment School.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - High school students heard about "intelligent design"
for the first time Tuesday in a school district that attracted national
attention by requiring students to be made aware of it as an alternative
to the theory of evolution.
Administrators in the Dover Area School District read a statement to three
biology classes Tuesday and were expected to read it to other classes
today, according to a statement from the Thomas More Law Center in Ann
Arbor, Mich., which was speaking on the district's behalf.
The district is believed to be the only one in the nation to require
students to hear about intelligent design - a concept that holds that the
universe is so complex, it had to be created by an unspecified guiding
force.
"The revolution in evolution has begun," said Richard Thompson, the law
center's president and chief counsel. "This is the first step in which
students will be given an honest scientific evaluation of the theory of
evolution and its problems."
