[Post BEFORE the decision]
Intelligent Design is a (Christian) RELIGIOUS belief. So just considering THAT fact, it can no more be taught in schools, than schools can make kids pray.
If you were a Jewish, Hindu, Muslim etc parent, would you want your kids spoon-fed a CHRISTIAN belief in school?
Nope.
I'm not Jewish, Hindu, Muslim etc, but I still believe they have rights, and saying that ID should be taught in public schools is not only tarnishing Science (And will confuse kids as to what SCIENCE is), but it would be an establishment of a religion.
So that said, it really doesn’t matter what the court's decision is, because if they screw it up this time, ID will be removed from the classroom in the future.
But IMHO, they should get it right, NOW and kick I.D. out of public schools and put the arrogant Christian fundies in their place (which is not in public school classrooms).

KICK ASS!
+1 for Common Sense.
I'm quite happy about the decision. :-)
And good for Pennsylvania! They fired/barred the school board members who lied to get ID into the classroom.
Good job! Yet another +1 for Common Sense.

A great video on the subject:
"Ken Miller presentation debunking the Intelligent Design movement. This is after he testified in court hearings to keep ID out of the school system. January 3, 2006."
After watching this video in it's entirety, Ken Miller is now my hero. :-p
