This was going to be a hurricane shelter and a community center, and a lot of people supported it on that basis.

I think it's sick for you not to take people into consideration before you propose these lines.

They're not giving us a choice. All they care about is the bottom line. They don't care about the people that this will affect.

They (state school board members) are allowing the intelligent-design minority to bypass the scientific community. While not specifically mentioning religious concepts, it's advancing a sectarian religious view. They're treading on some constitutional grounds here.

I like the gospel music and the idea of getting people together. It's just a good community event. It's soul weekend, that's what's so beautiful about it.

They really are advancing a sectarian religious view. They don't accept those religious people who accept evolution.
