Ohio: We Aren't in Kansas Anymore (Or Are We?)
Lawrence Krauss, director of the Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics at Case Western Reserve University, has agreed to head up Help Ohio Public Education.
HOPE is a coalition of science education supporters that's targeting school board member Deborah Owens Fink, an intelligent design supporter.
And that has Fink worried.
"I don't understand why they are even engaged on the topic," says Fink. "Ohio isn't Kansas."
But Krauss doesn't see it that way.
"We hope to raise the profile of school board elections," says Krauss. "We've seen in Ohio and Kansas how significant these elections can be."
