Question presented

Whether the dismissal of Roemer v. Booth is consistent with the decisions about the teaching of biological evolution in public schools in Epperson v. Arkansas (evolution of human beings), Edwards v. Aguillard (creationism), and K.itzmiller v. Dover (theory of intelligent design). Citing the First Amendment, these decisions prohibit state governments from promoting faith in God. The New York State Unified Court System, through Jane Booth and the Attorney Grievance Committee, threatened me with legal action in a letter reproduced on p. A-14---15 to prevent me from offering to give the Columbia University community a lesson/lecture on the cosmological argument for God's existence. Whether Andrew Schilling, the attorney who represents the general counsel of Columbia University, Jane Booth, is perpetrating a fraud upon the federal judiciary by claiming that he represents the president of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger.
