O’Donnell thinks ID is Religion

O’Donnell thinks ID is Religion

That’s how I read this statement from National Review:

O’Donnell stressed that preventing schools from the possibility of teaching intelligent design would violate the First Amendment clause that Congress could not prohibit “the free exercise thereof” of religion. “He [Coons] forgot to quote [that] part,” she said.

And they commented on whether or not she understood the First Amendment, arguing that Coons is the one who misses the law:

In a statement, campaign manager Matt Moran said, “In this morning’s WDEL debate, Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts. She simply made the point that the phrase appearsnowhere in the Constitution. It was in fact Chris Coons who demonstrated his ignorance of our country’s founding documents when he could not name the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment.”
