LionsDen is pretty obviously referring to what eventually became Williams v. Vidmar, 367 F. Supp. 2d 1265 (D. Cal. 2005). At a point early on in the proceedings, the Alliance Defense Fund issued a press release bearing the headline, "Declaration of Independence Banned from Classroom," that was picked up by media outlets across the country.
The truth of the matter is, however, that in the Cupertino Union School District, where the dispute arose, use of a textbook containing the complete text of the Declaration of Independence is a mandatory component of the curriculum.
LionsDen is simply repeating that particular lie, among others.

Evangelicals and creationists share one characteristic: no lie beneficial to their causes can ever truly die; it merely lies dormant for awhile and then re-surfaces.
