Intelligent design issue continues to be issue in governor's race

WOODTV.com & WOOD TV8 - Grand Rapids news and weather - Intelligent design issue continues to be issue in governor's race:

"Republican candidate Dick DeVos has for the most part kept his gubernatorial campaign focused on the economy and off of himself.

But when he said in an interview earlier this week with The Associated Press that he'd like to see intelligent design taught along with evolution in science classes, it fired up blogs, party activists and editorial writers for days.

Since then, the conservative Christian has tried to steer the conversation away from his personal views and stress that deciding what's taught in science classes should be left up to local school districts."
