In Caldwell v. Roseville Joint Union High School District, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 66318 (ED CA, Sept. 7, 2007), a California federal district court dismissed claims by intelligent design activist Larry Caldwell that he was unconstitutionally denied access to various forums to promote his "Quality Science Education" proposals. Caldwell alleged free speech, establishment clause, due process and equal protection violations because his proposals were not placed on the School Board's agenda, his complaints about the school district's biology textbook were rejected, and his proposals were not placed on the agenda of of the Curriculum Instruction Team in his daughter's and son's high school. In granting summary judgment to the school district, the court emphasized that "this case is not about whether a theory of intelligent design can or should be included in the science curriculum.... Rather, this case is about whether Larry Caldwell was denied access to speak in various fora or participate in certain processes because of his actual or perceived religious beliefs."

does this guy caldwell have a job? couldn't he just have his kids homeschooled or something, like all the other lunatics do?
Yes, of course, let's get rid of the loons. We shall have none of that divine intervention. Next we should interject the ideology of eugenics. We already have abortion. We are contemplating euthanasia. It's just a matter of time when we will introduce eugenics into the playing field. It will complete the whole spectrum of Darwinian thought. The Germans back in the 19th Century were great advocates of evolution. It made their political ideology so much more palatable.
A response to "anonymous":
First of all, "Darwinian thought" has absolutely nothing to do with abortion, euthanasia, or eugenics. If you are going to claim that it does, please, provide references.
Secondly, the implication that Hitler's social programs have any basis in evolutionary theory are disproven in his own words in Mein Kampf, where he writes:
"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the Creator of the universe. [...] Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
The book is in fact FILLED with such appeals to "the will of God" regarding the Aryan race, yet never ONCE does it mention biological evolution.
Your comment is typical of the intellectual dishonesty presented by creationists on the subject of evolution.
