Democracy Intelligent Design and Evolution

<p>Should alternatives to evolution be taught in American public schools or rejected as an establishment of religion? <i>Democracy Intelligent Design and Evolution </i>argues that accurate science education helps shape a democratic temperament. Rather than defending against Intelligent Design as religion citizens should defend science education as crucial to three aspects of the democratic person: political citizenship economic fitness and moral choice. Through an examination of <i>Tammy Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District </i>contemporary political theory and foundational American texts this volume provides an alternative jurisprudence and political vocabulary urging American liberalism to embrace science for citizenship.</p>
