Keep an eye on Seminole County

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.

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.
