Accord­ing to the Tom Sawyer cam­paign for the Ohio Board of Ed, Deb­o­rah Owens-Fink said in a radio appear­ance: “If you are Chris­t­ian, vote for Deb­bie. If you believe in evo­lu­tion, abor­tion and sin, vote for Sawyer.”

No men­tion was made of who Indi­an Jim or mem­bers of the white­wash­ers’ guild should vote for. A spokesman for the Sawyer team tells us “For the record, as a cam­paign for State School Board we are in favor of teach­ing evo­lu­tion and take no posi­tion on abor­tion. As for sin, we are agin’ it.”
