US school's new challenge to Darwin
They call this "Dutch country", the soft hills and open dales of South Pennsylvania, settled by European migrants three centuries ago. It is a conservative part of the country, overwhelmingly white and Christian, where the old world and the new live side-by-side. It is an unlikely place for a revolution. Yet the small town of Dover in York County is at the centre of an argument on the origins of mankind. The local high school has just become the first in the country to discuss an alternative Darwin's theory of evolution in class, called Intelligent Design.
Silly people.
