In an impressive display of Midwestern wisdom, the Spencer, Iowa school board has decided to scrap for now proposed changes that among other problems, would have created classes based on religion to counter the teaching of evolution.
School board members have gone back to the drawing board.
A second crack at the policy will be scrutinized by attorneys, teachers and other groups before it's made public in September, Superintendent Greg Ebeling said.
"I think the wisdom is to slow down and make sure we cover our bases," he said. "In the end, it'll probably be a much more palatable policy."
More attitudes like this, please.
