Two Springboro school board members are one vote short of having the support on the five-member board to push for “creationism” in classrooms there, which would likely ignite a wider debate on teaching religion in public schools and maybe set up a court fight.

That's one tiny school board.

Ah, and stepping right up is our next contestant to try to talk down the Supreme Court. I hope they're ready for the costs. At least this team isn't pussy-footing around with ID, or messing around with standards or teacher's rights; they want that old time creationism, pure and unsullied. I wonder how they think they will be able to work around Edwards v Aguillard?

Heh, heh: 'Myers said she believes in creationism, rather than evolution because evolution is “based on a theory that can’t even been proven.”' Perhaps more time in English class first?
