Orlando Sentinel education reporter Dave Weber recently posted on the newspaper’s education blog about a variety of tips and juicy tidbits he’s been getting about Seminole County school board candidates. Not satisfied with just passing along the tips to his readers, he actually contacted the candidates to check up on what he’s been told. Here’s one such item of interest:
The tipster scoop on [Becky] Erwin and [Paul] Ackerman is that they both are right wing Christian conservatives. I asked them about that and both acknowledge that there might be room in Seminole County schools to teach creationism or intelligent design alongside evolution as a theory of how we came to be. But both quickly add that they are not foolhardy enough to go gangbusters on this issue if elected.
