District Six School Board Hopefuls On Religion's Role
"I support Science in the classroom, and I think that you get into an area where it's going to be very very divisive if we start having conversations about teaching religion in a science classroom classroom.".....April Griffin "I am a strong Christian. However, I believe that religious values are something that should be taught in the home, not in school. I feel that we should build our education program around education.".....Sally Harris
"There's a definite line between church, and state, and the need to not think about religion in a classroom, and understand it's there. But when we're talking about being abstinent, or when we're talking about intelligent design, those are valid subjects.".....Benjamin Fink
I believe that they chose the wrong path, and I lobbied diligently to get them to re-think that decision because it is only a theory. And to exclude other theories in view of one theory, to me is not education. That's indoctrination.".....Terry Kemple

Republican Ira William "Bill" McCollum, Jr.
"I really do not think that we should have homosexuals guiding our children. I think that it’s a lifestyle that I don’t agree with. I realize a lot of people do. It’s my personal faith, religious faith, that I don’t believe that the people who do this should be raising our children. It’s not a natural thing. You need a mother and a father. You need a man and a woman. That’s what God intended.".......Bill McCollum
