Not long following the Brunswick County School Board announcing plans to get intimate with creationism, there is a report that the state officials have clarified for BCSB and its counsel that, yes, the 1987 Supreme Court decision in Edwards v. Aguillard put paid to notions that evolution could be balanced with creationism in the classroom. It would still be reasonable to keep tabs on future meetings of the BCSB to make sure the history lesson is absorbed.
