A letter to the editor critiques a state education panel proposal on science standards, arguing gravity is treated as a theory like evolution and calling the document childish and biased.

The letter also discusses declining enrollment at Centennial Elementary and anticipated effects from the Gaslight Village sale on district equity and school opportunities.
