*Intelligent Design Group Urges California High School to Change Course or Remove Intelligent Design*
In the letter a Discovery Institute attorney writes: “The title and nature of this course are problematic and appear to misrepresent the content of the course and intelligent design.” The letter later urges the district to: “either reformulate the course by removing the young earth creationist materials or retitle the course as a course not focused on intelligent design.”

*In Ohio Darwinist Admits Plan to Burn Evolution Critics *
This reveals the mindset of so many Darwinists: they are not tolerant of those who dissent from their views. So dogmatic are they that they not only oppose the teaching of the views of scientists who dissent from Neo-Darwinism, but they refuse to co-exist with them in the university setting. So much for academic freedom and collegiality. If there were any doubts about Darwinist dogmatism, this lays them to rest.

*Discovery Institute Chides Ohio Activists for Trying to Dumb Down Evolution Education and Censor Science*
“Ohio critics of intelligent design now want to dumb down the teaching of evolution by censoring out scientific evidence challenging Darwinism and that is bad for students and bad for science education,” said Casey Luskin, program officer for public policy and legal affairs with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture. “A lot of evidence surrounding evolution isn’t typically covered in biology courses. Students need to learn more about evolution, not less.”

*Darwinists Want To Ban Intelligent Design From Not Just Science Classrooms, But All Classrooms*
“Pull the intelligent design class at Frazier Mountain High School,” was the letter’s ominous message, “or we file an injunction.”

*Arizona Arizona Republic Columnist Hit the Nail on the Head in His Dover Trial Analysis*
Far from wanting to ban the teaching of evolution in public schools, the ID movement advocates that it be taught. Moreover, it does not support the mandatory teaching of intelligent design as an alternative. Instead, it wants a more circumspect presentation of evolutionary theory as well as acknowledgement of its scientific critiques. Read the rest at Evolution News & Views, www.scienceandculture.com.

When we launched this website almost exactly one year ago, it was because we were tired of the mainstream media ignoring, mischaracterizing and otherwise misreporting the views of scientists and scholars who dissent from Darwinism, as well as those scientists who also advocate for the theory of intelligent design. The mainstream media has noticed. Read more at Evolution, News & Views, www.scienceandculture.com.

“Unlike the ACLU, we want students to learn more about evolution, not less,” said Dr. John West, associate director of Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture. “Students need to learn Darwinian evolution because it is the dominant theory of biological evolution. But, they also need to learn about some of the scientific evidence that challenges parts of the theory.” Read the rest at Evolution News & Views, www.scienceandculture.com.

*Judge Jones Follows ACLU, Ignores Contrary Facts*
Relying almost exclusively on the evidence presented by the ACLU's witnesses, Jones held that ID is not science. He claimed that the witnesses established that ID relies on "supernatural" explanations, that it was untestable, and that it had produced no peer-reviewed literature. Each of these claims was carefully rebutted by the briefs submitted by amici, including Discovery Institute and a large group of scientists who urged the court not to try to settle the question of the definition of science and the scientific status of intelligent design.

Dover Intelligent Design Decision Criticized as a Futile Attempt to Censor Science Education
"The Dover decision is an attempt by an activist federal judge to stop the spread of a scientific idea and even to prevent criticism of Darwinian evolution through government-imposed censorship rather than open debate, and it won't work," said Dr. John West, Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute, the nation's leading think tank researching the scientific theory known as intelligent design. “He has conflated Discovery Institute’s position with that of the Dover school board, and he totally misrepresents intelligent design and the motivations of the scientists who research it.”

*Did the ACLU Lie to the Federal Courts in the Cobb County Evolution Sticker Case?*
"The court gives two bases for its findings and they're absolutely wrong," [Judge] Carnes told Atlanta lawyer Jeffrey Bramlett, who argued on behalf of five parents who sued the school board to get the stickers removed. ... At the end of the arguments, Carnes took the highly unusual step of calling Bramlett back up to the podium and suggested he may have mislead the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in his legal brief filed with the court.
