Legal IssuesA Brief Response to the Kansas Board of Education Decision10/15/1999 On August 11, 1999 the Kansas Board of Education (BOE) voted 6 to 4 to remove macroevolution and big bang cosmology from the state's science curriculum. The newly revised standards supposedly neither ban "Darwinism" nor promote "creationism". Rather, they deny that any single model be used as a "unifying system" of knowledge. Creation Scientists Applaud Pa Judge's Ruling Against 'intelligent Design'-dressing Up Id Is No Substitute For Real Science12/20/2005 News Advisory, Dec. 20---Proponents of 'intelligent design' were dealt a blow when District Judge John E. Jones III ruled that ID was a religious idea with a covert agenda and therefore unconstitutional. Excerpts From The June 19, 1987 U.s. Supreme Court Ruling On The Louisiana Balanced Treatment Act"It is equally clear that requiring schools to teach creation science with evolution does not advance academic freedom. The Act does not grant teachers a flexibility that they did not already possess to supplant the present science curriculum with the presentation of theories besides evolution, about the origin of life. From the Trenches: An Additional Response to the Kansas Board of Education Decision10/15/1999 It would probably be an understatement to say that the Kansas State Board of Education's recent decision on the Kansas Science Education Standards has been widely misunderstood.

Kansas' own governor, Bill Graves, has called it "a tragic, terrible, embarrassing solution to a problem that did not exist." Icr Victory and Then Some1/1/19993 A recent article in Nature proclaimed, "Creationist Victory....'It's a shocking and puzzling decision.... The state lawyers gave away the store. "' A Science article had a kinder title, "Creationism Compromise," but continued in a negative tone. The commentary referred to the recent out-of-court settlement of a suit brought to the Federal District Court by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR). More Than Intelligent Design7/1/2002 Scholars involved in what has come to be known as “the Intelligent Design movement” deserve respect. They swim against the powerful tide of naturalism, and I applaud their efforts and integrity. Rtb Scholars Expound On Expelled, the Movie9/1/2008 "A follow-up to our original statement on EXPELLED:" Our initial posting about EXPELLED, the movie, drew a mixture of praise and criticism. We are grateful for both. Praise is always encouraging, but criticism can be helpful in revealing miscommunication. Should Intelligent Design Be Taught In Public Schools?9/1/2005 George W. Bush ignited a fire storm of controversy last month when he responded to a reporter's question. Even though he never mentioned intelligent design, many in the media presumed that he endorsed teaching both evolution and intelligent design (ID) in public schools. Supreme Court Rules On Teaching Creationism1/1/1988 "'Creation Science' Banned in Schools," screamed a Los Angeles Times headline. This banner, typical of hundreds that appeared in newspapers and newsmagazines across the nation, parroted by hundreds more radio and television announcers, gave the distinct impression that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled against the presenting of any evidence for creation to students in public schools and universities.
