In Pennsylvania, the Dover Area School District Board of Education passed a resolution requiring that intelligent design be promoted to 9th grade students as an alternative to evolution.

A group of parents responded by sueing the school district to force the rescinding of the policy. That case is currently in the courts. Then, a slate of candidates ran against the eight school board members up for re-election and campaigned against intelligent design.

The slate was elected on Tuesday, ousting all eight school board members who supported the intelligent design policy.
