El Tejon Superintendent John Wight said the subject was proper for a
philosophy class. But Americans United argued the course relied almost
exclusively on videos that presented religious theories as scientific ones.
District officials were encouraged to settle by the Discovery Institute, a
Seattle-based think tank that supports intelligent design and which had filed
a court brief in favor of the Dover school board.
The El Tejon class "was misconceived," said John West, a senior fellow at the
institute. "It was almost all about Biblical creationism, not intelligent
design."
Sharon Lemburg, a social studies teacher and soccer coach who taught
"Philosophy of Design," defended the course in a letter to the weekly
Mountain Enterprise. "I believe this is the class that the Lord wanted me to
teach," she wrote.
[This is /not/ a purposeful satire - it's life as satire on itself.]
The fool hath said in her/his/it/hey heart,
there is no intelligent cancer design.

If the Lord pays her salary, and not the state, then that is perhaps
relevant. Since the state pays her salary, she should be teaching
what the state wants her to teach.

You didn't catch her devotion to science and the truth, either, huh?
