Dover PA Curriculum Likely the First in the Nation
A story in the York Daily Record by Lauri Lebo and Joe Maldonado shows that the Dover Area School Board voted to require the teaching of intelligent design Monday night. This is likely the first district in the United States to do so.
Dover's 6-to-3 vote was in favor of teaching alternative theories to evolution, "including, but not limited to, intelligent design".
Eugenie Scott of NCSE said she believes intelligent design proponents are now looking for a test case to defend the issue in court.
Those at the Discovery Institute, who have also advised a school board member on the issue, said the board member might have overstepped his bounds. "We don't endorse or support what the Dover School District has done," West said. "This is not what we recommend."
Eugenie Scott said, "Intelligent design is just a sham to get creationism into the curriculum. The intelligent design movement is politically motivated and has little standing with the mainstream scientific community."
