School board member votes to include "Intelligent Design" in curriculum because all of her friends were doing it.

Heather Geesey, a Dover Area School Board member, said she came to believe intelligent design was a scientific theory based on the recommendations of Alan Bonsell and William Buckingham _ both members of the board's curriculum committee.

"They said it was a scientific thing," said Geesey, who added that "it wasn't my job" to learn more about intelligent design because she didn't serve on the curriculum committee.

If this is not the best case for making sure that the science curriculum is drastically improved then I just don't know what is. This chick, Heather, needs to be forced to sit through Bio1 and Bio2 all over again until she can demonstrate that she has some rudimentary idea of what the fuck she is voting against. Listen to this horseshit!

Witold Walczak, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer representing the families, noted in his cross-examination of Geesey that the policy was adopted over the objections of Dover High School's science teachers.

"The only people in the school district with a scientific background were opposed to intelligent design ... and you ignored them?" he asked.

"Yes," Geesey said.

AAAAARRRGGHH!!!!
