| THAT SECULAR WORM OF INFIDELITY! In Edwards v Aguillard (1987), the US Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to require educators to teach creationism alongside evolution; they found it a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. [ http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/edwards-v-aguillard.html ] Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel for the Law Center, commented, "What is clear from this decision is that our present Establishment Clause jurisprudence, as several Supreme Court justices have noted, is in hopeless disarray and in need of substantial revision. In his opinion the judge bemoaned that the school district 'deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.' In this respect, he was correct. This case should have never made it into a federal courthouse. The Founders of this country would be astonished at the thought that this simple curriculum change 'established religion' in violation of the Constitution that they drafted."

For example, Justice Thomas stated in his concurring opinion in the pledge of allegiance case, "Our jurisprudential confusion has led to results that can only be described as silly." In Edwards v. Aguillard, a case relied upon by the district court in which the Supreme Court held that it was unconstitutional to teach creationism alongside evolution, Justice Scalia criticized the Court's "embarrassing Establishment Clause jurisprudence." In a school prayer case, then Justice Rehnquist noted, "It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of constitutional history, but unfortunately the Establishment Clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson's misleading metaphor for nearly 40 years." Justice Rehnquist is referring to the metaphor of the wall of separation between church and state.
