DescriptionSome Columbus school board candidates said today that they support student prayer in school, and at least one said he advocates teaching creationism.

The candidates disputed issues — from the quality of teachers to the acceptability of teaching religion in public schools — in a debate held at the Athletic Club of Columbus.
