The full Judgment:

An interesting read; the Plaintiffs are completely vindicated, and the School Board is harshly criticized.

The Court found that:

"ID does not satisfy the ground rules of science".

The ID textbook Pandas "distorts and misrepresents evidence in the fossil record . . .contains outdated concepts and badly flawed science . . . complete abscence of peer reviewed publications supporting the theory".

"ID is not science and cannot be adjudged as valid".

"Defendants consciously chose . . . to advance religion".

"Striking ignorance concerning the concept of ID amongst Board members".

"disregarding the teachers' views"

"compelling testimony as to the harm caused by the Board's ID policy"

"repititious, untruthful testimony"

"any asserted secular purposes by the Board are a sham and merely secondary to a religious objective"

"flagrant and insulting falsehoods to the court"
