Creating Critical Thought 16 November 2004 Grantsburg, Wisconsin School Board President, David Ahlquist, is once again involved in controversy after approving the teaching of "theories other than evolution" in public schools. Opponents say this will pave the way for teaching creationism, while the school board claims the other theories (similar to Intelligent Design) are supported by scientific data and that teaching them will foster critical thought in students. Ahlquist, who is also a Baptist pastor, has previously caused debate by participating in a heavily biblical school Christmas pageant and by promoting middle school Bible study.
