Fund Launches Article | Reuters.com: "In October 2004, Dover became the first school district in the United States to include intelligent design in its science curriculum.

Ninth-grade biology students were presented with a four-paragraph statement saying that evolution is a theory, not a fact, and that there are 'gaps' in the theory. The statement invited students to consider other explanations of the origins of life, including intelligent design.

In a fierce attack on the Dover board - all but one of whom have now been ousted by voters -- the judge condemned the 'breathtaking inanity' of its policy.'

Jones defended the students and teachers of Dover High School whom he said 'deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.'"
