I got a hint of what that effect might be last week when a press release from a group calling itself “The Campaign to Defend the Constitution” showed up in my e-mail, directing me to the outfit’s Web site. On it, Pennsylvania is identified as one of 10 U.S. “Islands of Ignorance,” where “ignorance” the teaching of intelligent design is permitted to trump science.

False! Check the press release here. (Also here.)
The list starts with Dover, PA. It does not identify the state of "Pennsylvania as one of 10 U.S. Islands of Ignorance".
This press release references a website which is registered to Nick Allen, President of an organization called DonorDigital in California, which states that they specialize in online advertising, marketing, and advocacy. They list George Soros as a client. Hardly a non-partisan source which makes up a wide scope of the national view of Dover, Pennsylvania, is it?
