Dover boots board
Board members who made changes to science class received the fewest votes

Dover CARES candidates swept the race for school board Tuesday, defeating board members who supported the curriculum change that was challenged in federal court.

After months of fierce campaigning that included some mudslinging from both sides, new members of the board are Bernadette Reinking, Rob McIlvaine, Bryan Rehm, Terry Emig, Patricia Dapp, Judy McIlvaine, Larry Gurreri and Phil Herman.

The challengers defeated James Cashman, Alan Bonsell, Sherrie Leber, Ed Rowand, Eric Riddle, Ron Short, Sheila Harkins and Dave Napierskie. Results are not official until certified by the county.

"We're still in shock because we were expecting to have some wins," said Dapp, who won a two-year term. "We weren't expecting to have all eight."

3. Thank God PA has intelligent people.

I'm not so sure about Kansas. They voted in Intelligent Design. Seems Kansas still loves bush.

4. When Kansas produces dumbass kids they'll know why

This new schoolboard isn't perfect though. Their campaign was there is nothing wrong with teaching ID in the public schools but just not in science class. They propose an elective course that would include this curriculum.

But at least it's an improvement!!

5. ID is a religious "notion". Once the initial statement of belief

has been made, there is NOTHING left to say. How could there be a curriculum?

6. Well there isn't anything wrong

In discussing ID in a philosophy, comparative religion, or mythology class. In that context as an idea it is as valid as any other. Its just not science and has no business in a science class.

7. Let's hope this is the trend in any district, where ID is attempted. eom
