Eight of the nine Dover Board of Education members lost their seats in last night's election over their support of intelligent Design. The only reason one was left? They weren't up for re-election last night.
Interestingly, the Federal Trial in which the Board members were embroiled regarding teaching ID in the classrooms came to a close last Friday. A court decision is expected in January, and the new Board members will be sworn in on December 5.
Rather than claiming that the board members lost their seats by supporting ID, a spokesman simply stated that the community felt this one issue was polarizing the community and overshadowing too many other, more important ones, and that the community wanted to shift the focus to other platforms.
This makes me smile big and goofy like ;)
