	Update on Challenges to Teaching Evolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		SB 6500 states, "the legislature finds that the teaching of the theory of evolution in the common schools of the state of Washington is repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and thereby unconstitutional and unlawful.
		Part of disclaimer stated that evolution was a "controversial theory" presented by "some scientists" as a "scientific explanation for the origin of living things." New standards were adopted in February 2001 that removed the disclaimer requirement, but the standards are still not satisfactory in the eyes of many scientists who support the teaching of evolution.
		Ohio has the opportunity to adopt some of the best science standards in the nation, but that opportunity will be lost if the board adopts standards that introduce intelligent design creationism in the state's schools.

	Ohio State Board of Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chairman of the Ohio House of Representatives Education Committee and his or her counterpart in the Ohio State Senate are ex officio members.
		In 2002, the board, which is largely unknown in the state, was frequently in the news over how the state's model science curriculum should treat the issues of evolution, intelligent design, and creationism.
		The board has no control over the state's public colleges and universities, which are overseen by their individual boards of trustees and the Ohio Board of Regents.

		It states that good science education will prepare students to "distinguish the data and testable theories of science from religious or philosophic claims that are made in the name of science.

	Evolution News & Views: Ohio State Board of Education Repeals Critical Analysis Policy; Sends to Subcommittee for ...
		Opponents of Ohio's Critical Analysis of Evolution Lesson Plan convinced the Ohio State Board of Education (OSBE) yesterday to repeal both their benchmark requiring critical analysis of evolution and the approved lesson plan for teaching critical analysis of evolution.
		Some Board members indicated the rapid push to repeal the critical analysis policy yesterday was the result of the fact that three key pro-critical analysis Board members were absent from yesterday's meeting.
		Board member Jane Sonenshein supported Okerson's amendment, but had previously urged repealing the lesson plan and indicator so the Board could be done with this issue and move on to other things.

		This is a call for you, the State Board of Education members, to be open and up-front with the school districts by publishing a testing vocabulary envelope.

	American Chronicle: State Board of Education Rejects Attempt to Remove Lesson on Evolution
		Yesterday the Ohio State Board of Education narrowly rejected the third attempt to remove a state model curriculum lesson which gives students the opportunity to examine both sides of the evidence on the theory of evolution.
		The question was brought to the board outside the normal business agenda, therefore the public was not given notice of the debate or given time to prepare testimony in defense of the state standards.
		In approving the 2002 state science standards, it was the expressed intent of the Ohio State Board of Education to give students the opportunity to understand all scientific perspectives regarding Darwin's theories.

	Martha Wise, Avon, Ohio
		Martha Wise is an elected member of the state board of education, representing the counties of Erie, Huron, Lorain, Lucas, Wood, part of Ottawa, and part of Seneca.
		Ohio's children would be much better off if the board members instead united in demanding that lawmakers heed the Ohio Supreme Court's order to replace the unconstitutional school funding system based on property taxes with a totally new, fair system.
		Board member Martha Wise, an Avon resident who represents the 2nd State Board District, which covers Lorain, Erie, Huron, Lucas, Wood and parts of Ottawa and Seneca counties, pushed to eliminate the material and said the board took the correct action to avoid problems posed by the science standards, including the possibility of a lawsuit.

	Dave Kovacs for State Board of Education - Representing District 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Today I enter the 2006 elections as a Green candidate for the Ohio State Board of Education to join with all Ohioans who wish to reclaim the educational system from corrupt corporations and unscrupulous politicians.
		The history of this state has shown willingness by voters and citizens to demand the best of our government and to require a superior educational system.
		In recent times the grip on the state has been strengthened and squeezed by a two-party system that is indentured to the same rich and corporate types that have greed, money, and power as a higher priority than justice, education or civic values.

	State News on Teaching Evolution
		Reports from Alabama Senate Education Committee hearings held in March and Alabama House Education Committee hearings on similar legislation, HB 391, clearly indicate that the intent of the legislation is to protect the teaching of creationism, according to Nick Matzke of the National Center for Science Education.
		In February, the Board of Education approved a plan to establish a subcommittee "to conduct hearings to investigate the merits of the two opposing views." The subcommittee’s structure and method of operation are still somewhat uncertain, though the underlying purpose is clear.
		When Board member Owens-Fink was told by a member of the advisory panel, which was appointed by the Ohio Department of Education, that there was no common ground on this issue, she suggested that the membership of the advisory group should be changed.

	Vocabulary-Control Manual for Ohio's Tests
		This is a recommendation for the Ohio State Board of Education to authorize the creation of an Ohio Vocabulary-Control Manual for Use by Test Designers of Ohio Academic Achievement Tests.
		The indirect message from the Ohio's academic standards is that all five words---antonym, homonym, homograph, homophone, and synonym---may be used on Ohio's 3rd-grade achievement tests.
		To both you and the other Board of Education members, who will be pondering this issue, I suggest you informally survey perhaps five or ten district-level educators by asking them to describe the pros and the cons of a vocabulary-control manual for achievement-test designers.

	The Ohio Evolution Debate
		The President of the Board, Jennifer Sheets, spoke to all four of us together, laying down the ground rules and making it clear that our presentations would be timed to the second — as, it would turn out, they were.
		Speaking on the origin of life, he pleaded with the Board to reject a "dogmatic" Darwinian approach on the origin of life, and allow ID to explain to students just how uncertain and controversial theories about the origin of life really are.
		Yet to many members of the Board, it was doubtless clear that, at the conclusion of the debate, there were still "two sides" talking away on the issue.

		Ohio has thus become the first state to formally address the place of intelligent design in the classroom.
		The Ohio State Board of Education's science standards subcommittee responded to Calvert's 30-minute talk by inviting two evolution proponents and two intelligent design proponents to debate the issue on March 11.

		He then mentioned that the new federal education act adopted language that encourages honest treatment of the controversy surrounding origins science (see Honest science ‘left behind’ in US education bill).
		Note also that while we are obviously on the side of such freedoms in education, one of the ‘weak points’ of the ID approach is its deliberate failure to want to align itself with the history given in the Bible.
		[3] In this landmark decision, the court declared unconstitutional a Louisiana state law forbidding the teaching of evolution unless it is accompanied by instruction about ‘creation science.’; The court ruled that the law lacked a clear secular purpose and wrongly advanced the religious belief that a supernatural being created mankind.

		Supporters of intelligent design suffered another setback on Tuesday when the Ohio State Board of Education voted 11-4 to remove language from the state's science curriculum that was critical of the theory of evolution.
		The "critical analysis" of evolution was part of the curriculum for 10th-grade biology classes that the board adopted when it set new academic standards in 2002, making Ohio the first state to officially adopt such language.
		But according to the New York Times, the board's vote to remove the language came in part out of fear of a lawsuit in light of a December ruling by a Pennsylvania judge that teaching intelligent design in public schools was unconstitutional.
