The Burlington-Edison school district's motto -
"Quality Education...Our Commitment"

 

Summary

The issue of intelligent design was the focus of a controversial curriculum promoted by a public school science teacher in Burlington, Washington.

Public School Incidents

For 11 years, Roger DeHart had been promoting the notion of "intelligent design" in his public school classroom. This led to a community furor over whether Mr. DeHart was teaching science or religion.

A full accounting of the events in Burlington can be found by visiting the Burlington-Edison Committee for Science Education website.
