Eric Rothschild

Eric Rothschild is an American attorney known for his work in high-profile legal cases. He gained significant attention for his role in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case in 2005, where he represented a group of parents challenging the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. The court ruled that intelligent design is not science and cannot be taught in science classes, reinforcing the separation of church and state in education. Rothschild's efforts highlighted the ongoing debate over science and religion in American classrooms and contributed to discussions on educational policy and academic freedom.
