Director Matthew Linkletter argues that evolution is an unprovable theory and shouldn't be taught as fact. He's urged the SAD 59 Board of Directors to consider his view during its May 19 meeting in Madison, with a goal of removing evolution from science classrooms.

Maine was once known for textile mills and manufacturing and most of those jobs have evaporated or moved away but many of the people stayed.
