mLine 1:
Line 1: − − − Addition: − I make this addition because the above entry appears to be biased, and is wrong on at least this point: the controversy was not sparked by Judge Jones's decision, but rather by the Dover School Board's decision to introduce ID into the public science classrooms of its schools. From Jones's decision: − − − "Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge. If so, they will have erred as this is manifestly not an activist Court. Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. The breathtaking inanity of the Board’s decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers − of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources."
