Since then, of course, the Dover, Pa. school board was voted out of office, <em>Kitzmiller v. Dover</em> was decided by a conservative Bush appointee, creationists were voted out of power on the Kansas School Board in the <strong>GOP</strong> primaries, Ohio deep sixed its ID policy, and a bunch of creationists lost in the November elections, the most prominent being Senator Rick Santorum, who couldn't run away from IDism fast enough after <em>Kitzmiller</em>. I'm inclined to agree with the 'Rev. Dr.' Lenny Flank that IDism is dead, dead, dead. Hopefully it will take about twenty years for the creationists to develop creationism 4.0 and muster the political strength to make it a threat to public school science education again.
