A
consultant who suggested in a job advertisement seeking a school superintendent for a rural
Northern Michigan school district that candidates have "a strong Christian
background and philosophy" apologized and removed the criteria after the ACLU
complained.
Scott
Crosby, regional president of the Michigan Leadership Institute for West Central
Michigan, told mlive that the wording of the criteria was poor judgment,
and not reflective of the McBain Rural Agricultural School Board. The reference,
he explained, was intended to reflect the area's "close-knit and conservative"
beliefs. Christian Post.
