That would be a really wrong take away from Kitzmiller v. Dover for two reasons: That case itself was already an attempt at repackaging creationism in way to get around existing law from earlier cases; The evidence presented during the trail included evidence that creationists were already working on yet another repackaging. |

Schools shall teach 'different worldviews' on climate and evolution. Oh, yeah.
Maybe they will teach different worldviews on how those presents got under the Christmas tree, too. |

You're right. I do think Judge Jones statement, however, applies here;
