Pa. Voters Throw Intelligent Design Out Of Science Class POSTED: 7:37 am EST November 9, 2005 UPDATED: 7:39 am EST November 9, 2005 DOVER, Pa. -- In a school board fight that focused on intelligent design, voters in Dover, York County, kicked out all eight incumbents, each of whom supported the district's current intelligent design policy. Democratic challengers who were elected said they are not against intelligent design, but that they are against including it in the science department. "We couldn't be any happier. We were just hoping to maybe get a majority and to get all eight seats is just unbelievable," said Terry Emig, of Dover CARES. The outgoing school board voted last year to include an intelligent design preamble in 9th-grade biology classes before students learned lessons on evolution. That decision prompted a lawsuit by a group of eight parents, which was recently argued in federal court. The election will not have any effect on the trial, which is now being deliberated by U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III. He expects to rule by January. The winners of the school board race will be sworn in on Dec. 5.
