He would strip the board from decisions over curriculum and textbooks! Yes!

Seliger said the "political nature" of the elected board often "results in infighting and partisan beliefs becoming part of the public school curriculum" – as exemplified in the battle over science standards.

"The debate went on with almost no discussion of children," he said. "The fact is there is nothing that makes the board particularly qualified to choose curriculum materials and textbooks."

Averitt was more blunt, saying the board "has been nothing but the worst example of partisan bickering and fighting, Republicans and Democrats alike." There are 10 Republicans and five Democrats on the education board.

All because of the ridic games the Creationist SBOE members are playing.

Thank you, Kip Averitt. Please vote on and pass that!
