Randman seems to flip the situation around when he says, "It was a sham and is viewed that way by everyone that isn't an evo." I understand the situation to be the exact opposite. Pretty much the only people advocating this idea are those who are ideologically aligned with the DI. There is no better illustration of this than the other attempts to inject ID into the classroom at other districts around the county that tabled their decision because of Dover. If it was universally believed that the decision was "a sham" like randman claims, then why did the other tuck tail and run?
Sorry, I don't have a source, but a couple/few weeks ago Flock of Dodos was on TV again and the narrator mentioned that the DI itself very quickly also tucked-tail and ran. More specifically (as I remember the words) the DI un-involved itself from the trial stating that ID was not yet ready for the classroom.
Perhaps someone with a copy of the film or better knowledge of the events could fill in the details.

Re: Flock of Dodos
Sorry, I'm not sure. I think it was in the second half.
But certainly if the DI had back-pedalled like that, it should be more widely known.
