Live reporting of Cobb case

The Sanity Inspector has a first-hand account of the Cobb evolution stickers case. The judges seem to be grilling the plantiffs pretty hard, on the face, it seems like they're leaning in favor of the stickers, but this may be standard proceedure. I'm no expert in what a usual court case looks like.

Something I was previously unaware of:
Cobb had apparently gone from under-representing evolution in its classrooms, to providing a fuller treatment while putting these disclaimers in to placate the fundamentalist parents. So, big surprise: the policy was a garden variety government consensus monster. A little something for everyone, that wound up pleasing no one.
Also, interesting bit on our citizen journalist:
If you are nervous about being at the website of a conservative Christian, you needn't be. I have always despised creationism. It's like I always say, To believe in things that can't be proved is faith, but to disbelieve in things that have been proved is just obstinance.
