This week PBS aired a NOVA episode about the trial in Dover, Pennsylvania regarding the teaching of Intelligent Design in a public school, by way of the book Of Pandas and People. I think that anyone who has a passing interest in science literacy or education would find it fairly interesting. It also gives a pretty good overview of the salient points regarding the science vs "cdesign" debate and serves as a good introduction to the intellectual dishonesty of the Discovery Institute.
You can watch the program on the PBS website.
