re: #88 cronus

You raised a couple good points that are getting lost in the concern creationists are causing. Conservatives might very well prefer direct election in these situations since traditionally school board conservatives are better at holding the education bureaucracy’s feet to the fire on budgets and other curriculum issues unrelated to evolution.

It is really those conservatives that are truly concerned with education and checking the power plays of the teachers’ unions who are getting screwed over by the shenanigans of McLeroy and company.

Agreed. The answer to that is run candidates against them, people who won’t be crazy. People who will address the real issues schools face, not those who want to shove their dogma down kids throats.
