Ohio: Fordham Science Curriculum Evaluator Angry
From the The Columbus Dispatch: Ohio board member Michael Cochran used the "B" the Thomas B. Fordham Institute gave Ohio during a board meeting on Jan. 10 to justify approving the lesson.
RSR is curious, when people in Ohio buy a dozen eggs, do they shop for Grade B eggs?"When evidently somebody on that board said our B grade shows that we thought the lesson is OK, that really (upset me). This is a very bad lesson," said Paul Gross, who wrote the Fordham Institute report.
"The whole thing is dishonest. The whole thing is a Trojan horse."... Washington University biologist Ursula Goodenough said she and the four other members of the Fordham Institute committee supported Gross’ evaluation.
