"I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state." - George W. Bush, slipping freudianistically to the press on January 29, 2001.

Intervener Motion Denied in Dover

Intervener motion denied in Dover

The motion by a group of parents (Michael and Sheree Hied, Raymond and Cynthia Mummert, and James and Martha Cashman) seeking to intervene as defendants in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case has been denied. The court essentially adopted the plaintiff's reasoning as found in their opposition memorandum, which I summarize in an earlier post here.

Moreover, the Dover School District Board's motion to dismiss has also been denied (this was fairly expected).

The court's order denying both motions can be found here [pdf].

The quite-reliable York Daily Record covers the denials here.
