The Dover Area School Board now has to pay a million dollars in legal fees because of the foolishness and dishonesty of those members (all but one of whom are no longer on the Board) who tried to shove creationism down students' throats and then lied in court about their intentions in doing so.
It is likely that, in order to come up with that money (which is only half of the billable total, thanks to some generosity on the part of the law firm in question), the Board will either have to push for a tax increase, or make cuts. Given the political inviability of tax increases, program, salary and service cuts are much more likely, meaning that the damage to education facilitated by religious thugs is no longer confined to the intellectual and intangible alone. Now their destruction is material as well.
