Court Battle Over Evolution...

I found this article extremely interesting.  I vividly recall this coming to court, and was frankly appalled that it even needed to.  The attempt of religious groups to place "intelligent design" (ironic name, in my opinion) in the classroom as a theory on par with evolution is laughable at best.  Thankfully it was thrown out, and the fact that the scientific community has risen to the occasion with a new fervor to properly educate children on the intricacies of evolution is heartening.  I attended Catholic school from Kindergarten to sixth grade, and will attest to the fact that this was never once brought up as a viable theory, let alone fact.  My first exposure to any variance of Darwin's findings was in seventh grade biology, and I had a lot of catching up to do with my peers.  I shudder to think of the disadvantages brought upon students whose curriculum leaves this integral information out or barely passes over it because of the district or individual teacher's bias.  I'm sure this isn't the end of the fight on these grounds, and hopefully reason and logic continue to win out over fantasy and fiction.
