There are few other subjects that I know of that can rocket a state board of education (or local school board) member into the headlines like evolution. Such was the case with Donna Callaway. I’m not sure if she was all that well known before the issue of evolution in the new state science standards caught fire, but her vocal opposition to this single science subject gave her an explosive fifteen minutes of fame.
News reports say that she is now stepping down from her post.
School Zone blog post. The Gradebook blog post. Dept. of Education release one and release two.

Excellent news. She was one of the worst. Along with her soul-mate Ronda Storms.
Ding-dong, the witch is dead! 🙂
Just think, maybe Rhonda will follow!
Good riddance. People with an anti-science stance do not belong on the board.
Its interesting to note that since FCfS is a 501-3c organization. The IRS has guidelines about political involvement that may have been violated by your blogsite. You need to be careful or your exemption may be revoked.
Better call the ACLU, David!
Larry is that you? Didn’t you try to lay down the same charge against wikipedia over the Cheri Yecke article? We all know how THAT turned out…
trollDavid needs to show some evidence that FCFS has endorsed or raised money for any political candidate.This comment is a blatant attempt to intimidate the commenters at this blog into giving up their freedom of speech.
I donno … with all the $millions sloshing around this website, we may all be in deep trouble. Maybe we should just cave in to the creationists.
