Ohio Board Votes Out Evolution Lesson Plan
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 14, 2006
(AP) The Ohio school board voted Tuesday to eliminate a passage in the state's science standards that critics said opened the door to teaching intelligent design.
The Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 to delete material encouraging students to seek evidence for and against evolution.
The decision represents the latest setback for the intelligent design movement, which holds that life is so complex it must have been created by a higher authority.
