'Intelligent design' policy rescinded in Pennsylvania school district Jeannie Shawl at 8:57 AM ET [JURIST] The newly elected Dover Area School District [official website] school board on Tuesday evening unanimously voted to rescind the district's policy of teaching intelligent design theory [Natural History backgrounder] as an alternative to evolution in high school science classes. The vote follows last month's federal court ruling [PDF text; JURIST report] that the policy, approved in October 2004, was an unconstitutional violation of the Establishment Clause. Last November, voters in the Pennsylvania school district ousted eight members of the school board [JURIST report], replacing them with members opposed to the teaching of intelligent design.
