Martin, who has a son at the high school, said that she believes in creationism, as outlined in the Old Testament Book of Genesis. She said SAD 59 should pull evolution from the science curriculum unless creationism is afforded equal footing. ( Source )
It's highly ironic that the very people who exhibit such ignorance of evolution, those who are in the greatest need of an education in the biological sciences, are the same folks who oppose it for no good reason.

Mike O'Risal at Hyphoid Logic points out that there is trouble brewing in Maine.
