Of all of the cases the ACLU has taken on in the last few years, our challenge to the promotion of “intelligent design” in Dover, Pennsylvania’s public schools is one that truly speaks volumes about our work.
This Tuesday, November 13th at 8:00 PM, PBS’s award winning show NOVA will be airing a documentary on the Dover intelligent design trial. “Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial” is a two hour documentary that tells the story of the Dover case.
In September 2005, the ACLU went to court over the first-ever legal challenge to teaching intelligent design — the assertion that an intelligent, supernatural entity has intervened in the history of life. The story of this case and of our plaintiffs — 11 brave parents who took on their local school board and community — is a real-life drama and one you won’t want to miss.
The intelligent design campaign to replace science with faith-based theories in our schools is part of a larger faith-based movement that threatens our freedoms in a profound way.
