I’ve read about 40% of the decision, and it appears, with the exception of a few foolish passages, to be a plausible–though perhaps not the only possible–application of the Supreme Court’s establishment-clause jurisprudence. That jurisprudence is widely, and rightly, considered an embarrassment. The idea that anyone who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment intended for the federal courts to get involved in local science curricula, or for them to make authoritative pronouncements about what “is science,” is of course nuts.
