District 1:                              Paul Earnheart                                    
District 1:   Michael "Joey" White                       
White wants to teach "intelligent-design" creationism in Citrus County schools, despite warnings it is unconstitutional and could cost the district huge legal fees. Earnhaeart says he thinks it's unconstitutional. Miele says parents --not the government-- have the right to choose their children's religious education: "As much as I believe in my faith," he said, schools "need to teach facts to our children," he said, "parents and churches can teach religion. It's that simple."

District 5:                                        Diane Smith
District 5:                              Eugene Stump
"'I really don't think intelligent design has a place in our curriculum,' Smith said. 'It's more of a philosophical belief than something that can be proven through the scientific method'...Stump has a different solution for defusing the controversial issue. 'They took prayer out of school, let's take evolution out of the school.'"
