The School Board in Evansville has fired a wildly popular and successful science teacher with an impressive resume for unknown reasons. When the community, students, other teachers, and parents demanded to know why, the Board has refused to aswer. Clearly, politics and power at play. Read the comments too. Quite interesting.
This is so diheartening, but despressingly not surprising.
My friend David Fox was elected to the Nashville/Metro Davidson School Board last year, hoping in bring reasonable and forward-thinking policies to Nashville. (I don't know but I imagine reasonable policies such as "evolution is science and therefore belongs in a science class.") I hope never to read of such backwater controversies from my hometown.
