BBC: 'Intelligent design' teaching ban
A court in the US has ruled against the teaching in schools of the theory of "intelligent design" alongside Darwinian evolution.
A group of parents in the Pennsylvania town of Dover had taken the school board to court for demanding biology classes not teach evolution as fact.
The authorities wanted to introduce the theory that Earth's life was too complicated to have evolved on its own.
Parents said it was effectively teaching creationism, which is banned.
