This was an unfortunate decision based on false fears. These people want to censor information from students.

The impact of this ruling is that even students who ask critical questions about Darwinism, or about intelligent design theory will scare administrators' about whether that puts the school in constitutional jeopardy. There's already been a negative chilling effect on open inquiry in places such as Ohio and South Carolina. Judge Jones' message is clear: give Darwin only praise, or else face the wrath of the judiciary.

Disclosure has the connotation of regulatory compliance. We started out to provide information-the funds are out to provide entertaining information. Wall Street isn't the only place to get it.

It was a tough decision, ... The people, especially the students, with whom I've worked at BC are some of the finest I've ever known. I felt it was time to look at something new, as well as make good on my promise to Cheryl. But I know that the Office of AHANA Student Programs will continue to thrive and grow.

While we don't favor mandating the teaching of intelligent design we do think it is constitutional for teachers to discuss it precisely because the theory is based upon scientific evidence not religious premises.
