"The social implications of Darwinism have been disastrous," said Richard
Thompson, the president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center in Ann
Arbor, Mich. "Nazi Germany used Darwin to justify a master race based on the
idea that it's survival of the strongest."


Thompson's perception that teaching evolution is socially destructive is just
one of the reasons why he volunteered to defend the Dover Area School
District's school board and administration against a lawsuit brought against
them last December, he said.


Eleven parents sued the district, saying a statement issued by the district to
ninth-grade biology students that intended to teach students that there were
gaps and problems with Darwinian evolution, was unconstitutional.
