Thoughts in a Haystack

I've had a thing or two to say about the Springboro (Ohio) school board, the kindest of which is that they don't really have the courage of their convictions.

But now Richard B. Hoppe is reporting at The Panda's Thumb that the board's creationist members are ... wait for it ... getting advice from John Freshwater.

Apparently, however, the (sometimes respectable) Rutherford Institute didn't want to sully its hands in Springboro. Next up to bat is Liberty Institute (not to be confused with Mat Staver's merry band of incompetents from Jerry Falwell's faux university), which we last saw representing the Jackson (Ohio) School District in its "fight" to keep a "portrait" of Jesus hanging prominently in a public school. Liberty Institute seemingly has not advised the school board there to commit economic suicide (unlike Staver's outfit) and, so it can be hoped that it will do the minimum legal sanity for Springboro as well.

Good luck, Springboro taxpayers ... you're going to need it!
