Intelligent Design Battle Goes to Polls in Dover, Pa.
An AP newswire article by Martha Raffaele, via ABC News, reports that:
A battle over a policy requiring that ninth-graders in this rural community learn about "intelligent design" in biology class is being fought on two fronts one political, one legal.
In a federal courtroom in Harrisburg, 20 miles away, a judge is hearing arguments in the sixth week of a landmark trial over whether the concept can be introduced in public school. The non-jury trial is expected to conclude Nov. 4; it is unclear when the judge will issue a decision.
At the polls in Dover, voters will render their decision Nov. 8 on whether to retain eight of the nine Dover Area School Board members all Republicans or replace them with a Democratic slate whose platform calls for removing intelligent design from the curriculum.
