Outrage over nothing…

The libs are all aflame with the idea that a gubernatorial candidate is pro-Intelligent design.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos says he supports giving local school districts the option of teaching the theory of intelligent design in science classes as an alternative to evolution.

Intelligent design, the belief that the complexity of life is evidence of an intelligent cause behind it, for years has been a source of debate in courtrooms and among some who say it deserves a place in science classrooms and those who contend that it’s thinly veiled creationism.

“I would like to see the ideas of intelligent design that many scientists are now suggesting is a very viable alternative theory,” DeVos told the Associated Press during a taped telephone interview on education. “That theory and others that would be considered credible would expose our students to more ideas, not less.”

Fine. So what? He’s running. If people want it, they’ll vote him in. If they don’t, they won’t. How much more democratic could it be?

Oh wait… I guess if we’re talking Democratic, that means this guy should not even be allowed to run…

    But it’s not that simple, is it? The Dover ruling concluded that ID was religiously based and motivated and thus violated the Establishment Clause. Whether the people vote him in or not, ID would still run afoul of the First Amendment.
