Under legal pressure, a rural school district Tuesday canceled an elective course on "intelligent design." Some parents sued the school system last week, accusing it of violating the separation of church and state with "Philosophy of Design," which taught students that life was created by some kind of higher intelligence. In a settlement, the district agreed to halt the course and said it would never again offer a "course that promotes or endorses creationism, creation science or intelligent design."

Under legal pressure, a rural school district Tuesday canceled an elective philosophy course on “intelligent design.”
A group of parents had sued the El Tejon, Calif., school system last week, accusing it of violating the constitutional separation of church and state with “Philosophy of Design,” a high school course taught by a minister’s wife that advanced the notion that life is so complex it must have been created by some kind of higher intelligence.
