Eight of nine members lose reelection bid

Voters came down hard Tuesday on school board members who backed a statement on intelligent design being read in biology class, ousting eight Republicans and replacing them with Democrats who want the concept stripped from the science curriculum.
Great news!
This makes my day. This is what happened in Darby. The smart Darby parents voted out the school board members that tried to add Intelligent Design to thier science classes. Another victory. Its too bad the public school system is losing money to these law suits, but the ID supporters are forcing their hand. The school district is almost always automatically sued. I don't like it either, but it is the only defense we have against these religious fundamentalists. If it was not for the rule of law, this country would be a theocracy. Its all sad and frustrating. This issue is tearing communities apart and hopefully it appears there is a backlash against the ID proponents. Same thing happened in Hamilton, Montana. Luckily there was no law suit. The public was able to vote out those ID folks before they had a chance to mess things up.
People pay attention to whats going on in your school district. Don't let this happen to you.
