Slashdot | Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues: "'Palin has not pushed Flat Earth Theory science as governor'
'As a candidate for governor, Sarah Palin called for teaching Flat Earth Theory alongside evolution in public schools. But after Alaska voters elected her, Palin, now Republican John McCain's presidential running mate, kept her campaign pledge to not push the idea in the schools.'
'When asked during a televised debate in 2006 about Earth being spherical and Flat Earth Theory, Palin said, according to the Anchorage Daily News: 'Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.''
'In a subsequent interview with the Daily News, Palin said discussion of alternative views on the shape of the Earth should be allowed in Alaska classrooms. 'I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn't have to be part of the curriculum,' she said.'
'Palin said during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that if she were elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add Flatness-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum, or look for Flat Earth Society members when she appointed board members.'
'Palin's children attend public schools and Palin has made no push to have Flat Earth Theory"
