U.S. District Court in Dover (Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District)

The U.S. District Court in Dover, in the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, ruled in 2005 that teaching Intelligent Design alongside evolution in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The court found that Intelligent Design is a religious view, not a scientific theory, and promoting it in science classes amounted to promoting religion. This decision reinforced the separation of church and state, ensuring public education remains neutral on religious matters and science-based.
