Buckeyes Reject Intelligent Design

From AP: The Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 Tuesday to delete a science standard and correlating lesson plan that encourages students to seek evidence for and against evolution. Critics had called the material an opening to teach intelligent design, which holds that life is so complex it must have been created by a higher authority.

“It is deeply unfair to the children of this state to mislead them about science,” said board member Martha Wise, who pushed to eliminate the material.
