HARRISBURG, Pa. -- "Intelligent design" can't be mentioned in biology classes
in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling
in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes
trial.

Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered
that its biology curriculum must include the notion that life on Earth was
produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E.
Jones III said. Several members repeatedly lied to cover their motives even
while professing religious beliefs, he said.
