The board decided Tuesday to put the science standards on its agenda later in the day, a move that would allow the board to take a final vote next month.
来月に最終投票できるように、教育委員会は火曜日に理科教育規準を議題にのせた。
The existing standards, which treat evolution as a flawed theory and incorporate language favored by intelligent design proponents, were adopted in 2005 when the board had a 6-4 majority of conservative Republicans.
現行規準は進化論を間違った理論として扱い、インテリジェントデザイン支持者が求める記述をしていて、2005年に6:4で保守的共和党員が過半数を占めていたときに採択された。
But in last year's elections, a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans captured a majority. The new members were sworn in Monday and took control Tuesday. The new majority always was expected to bring back evolution-friendly standards, but previously they had talked about waiting at least several months.
しかし、昨年の選挙で、民主党と穏健派共和党の連合が過半数をとった。新しい委員たちは月曜日に宣誓し、火曜日に主導権ととった。新しい多数派は進化論向き規準の復活を常に求められているが、前回は数ヶ月見合わせると話していた。
