Springboro school board member pushes for creationism
Staff writer Lawrence Budd and I reported in today’s Dayton Daily News how Springboro school board member Kelly Kohls wants school administrators to look into offering “creationism” instruction in public school.
Kohls was elected on a Tea Party platform of fiscal conservatism two years ago when the district was struggling to pass a school operating levy. The district cut spending and offered retirement incentives to experienced teachers to avoid going back to the ballot.
Kohls says her desire to examine offering “creationism” is not tied to her membership in the Tea Party, but she believes many members would support the idea.Other area Tea Party supports have also backed similar socially conservative legislation.
Courts have repeatedly ruled against teaching religion in public schools, but the issue remains debated around the country. What do you think? Should schools be able to teach religious beliefs as part of other curriculum?
