From the article:

Eight families who sued a school district over the presence of "intelligent
design" in its curriculum will not ask a federal judge to block the lessons
that are expected to start next week, an attorney said Wednesday.
Witold Walczak, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania,
said that during depositions this week, Dover Area School District officials
"either denied or could not remember making statements at public school board
meetings ... about a desire to find biology textbooks that discuss
creationism," even though local newspapers reported their comments last summer.
Because the witnesses' statements raised questions about their credibility and
because the case is so complex, the plaintiffs are asking a federal judge to
schedule a trial in the spring instead of seeking an immediate court order that
would prevent the lessons, Walczak said.
