Dover Kicks out School Board
According to a post on DEFCON by Michelle Goldberg, a reporter who covered the Dover trial, the good people of Dover Pennsylvania have booted out the members of the school board who made the controversial anti-evolution decisions.
I doubt that these folks have accepted evolution overnight, but based upon good old American practicality have realized 1) the money being wasted on the trial could have been MUCH better used in the Dover school system and 2) religion belongs in the home and the church and not in the science classroom.
What may belong in a science classroom is an acknowledgement that science, by its nature (except in Kansas), is limited to materialistic solutions. I see no real problem with making that clear. Ironically the Dover resolution could actually inhibit that point from being made.
