Moscow's right wing conspiracy?

["Steve Cooke" <scooke@uidaho.edu>]

Dear Visionaries,
	In this morning LMTribune, Jim Fisher asserts that there is a right wing
conspiracy in Moscow to take over city and school governance in order to
thwart the teaching of evolution and to promote the teaching of creationism
in the public schools. He points to the elections of Young, Guyer, and the
defeat of the school bond as well as campaign statements and letters to the
editor in the D News.
	Kenton Bird pointed out to me recently that a 1,000 or more people voted in
the 2001 council elections than in 1999, 1997, or 1995. Sure enough, that is
what the numbers show. Are these the conspirators?
 	So is there an unspoken religion right campaign in Moscow to change ed.
policies? Why haven't they run for the school board? Those sneaky buggers
are trying to trick us as to their true intentions. Is Fisher onto something
or is this the ranting of a yellow journalist?
