New But I am less likely to...
...be upset about a school board that will eventually die off and and a legal ruling that will stick around for-evah.

New Other outcome would also have set precedent
When then school board tried, as Jay so succinctly put it, to violate the spirit of the constitution while not violating the letter, they forced the issue. They're trying to force the issue. As long as all the teachers "just know" what they're supposed to say, but there's no stickers in the textbooks, the majority might be getting what they want. But this majority[1] wants their position validated by the court. It's their stated agenda. Look for any sites advocating ID theory and you'll see it laid out plainly.

If they're going to force the issue to the courts, I hope the courts continue to do the right thing, as they did in this case.


[1] Majority of those who care about it enough to make a huge issue of it, anyway.
