Indiana Trustees Hold Power Over Teaching Evolution
Indianapolis July 17 Township trustees in Indiana have autonomous power to decide if evolution is taught in local schools. Ralph Deen, former Oil township Perry county principal, claims dismissal for teaching evolution from a state approved text. State superintendent Sherwood says trustees may fire at will, denying Deen a legal remedy. Doogs, the trustee, denies evolution factored in the firing and offers Deen a reduced salary, which Deen refused. Educators note no state law bars teaching evolution, but Deen’s dismissal could let trustees decide curriculum in the future. Deen taught a brief review from a Columbia University professor authored book widely used in Indiana and surrounding states.
