Big Victory for Science in Ohio
Pro-science candidates rolled to victory in four of five Ohio school board districts last night. John Bender, Sam Schloemer, Tom Sawyer, and Deborah Cain all won impressive victories.
Deborah Owens Fink, a creationist who made herself a lightning rod fighting for intelligent design in the curriculum there, was dealt a devastating defeat drawing less than 30 percent of the vote and just 59,897 votes compared to her pro-science opponent Tom Sawyer who won with 107,253 votes, 52.42 percent, in the four-way race.
