Intelligent Design Network (IDnet) Biography
Position:	Con to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"
Reasoning:	"[Darwinists] know full well that the thin veil of legal protection afforded evolution in public schools exists solely because the 'rest of the story' is not generally known or understood by the public. The ACLU has willingly exploited this situation by threats of lawsuits anytime a school board may give any indication that they are challenging the Darwinian dogma." Jan. 2005
Theoretical Expertise Ranking:	Organizations/VIPs/Other Individuals and organizations that do not fit into the other star categories.
