Claims Against NSF In Berkeley Evolution Website Suit Dismissed

After dismissing for lack of standing a suit against the University of California, Berkeley, claiming that its website "Understanding Evolution" promoted religion (see prior posting), a San Francisco federal district court has, in a second opinion, similarly dismissed claims against the other defendant in the case, the National Science Foundation. The NSF dismissal is Caldwell v. Caldwell, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16251 (ND Cal., March 20, 2006).
