A suburban Atlanta school board Thursday night voted unanimously to allow
teachers to introduce students to different views about the origins of 
life.
The Cobb County Board of Education, the state's second-largest school 
board,
approved the policy change after limited discussion, calling it a 
"necessary
element of providing a balanced education."

The board's vote drew cheers from some and expressions of dismay from 
others
in the packed meeting room.

"This supposed victory [by proponents of alternate theories] was shallow,
very shallow," said Jeffrey Selman. Selman and other opponents believe the
new policy is a step toward introducing religion -- in particular,
creationism -- in public schools. "We're going to be watching this very
closely."

The school board from my home area, one of the members had a rant during a 
meeting about music being played around school and sporting events. It 
started normally, then he started talking about the DJ's behavior. Then 
somehow he tied in metal music with satan worshiping and the occult and, 
wait for it, Harry Potter.

The others members thanked him for his comments and promised it would be 
looked into.
