re: #118 albusteve

isn’t state sanctioned teaching of religion in public schools a violation of the Constitution?…if so why don’t they rule on it and end these sate trials…I’m a strict Federalists but this is a situation the SC should rule on…imo

The SCOTUS did outlaw it in 1987, which is why “Intelligent Design” was formed- to get around the ban.

But the SCOTUS can’t just rule on an issue without having a case in front of them, and for that to happen, someone with standing has to appeal a lower court’s decision. It will be awhile yet until that happens, but eventually, ID will be shown the door too.
