SWISHER, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2007
Swisher Baptist Elementary School Principal Goddard W. McTierney announced this week that Swisher Baptist Elementary School third graders will visit the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky in the upcoming school year. The decision settles weeks of disagreement between parents over whether a visit to the Creation Museum would be appropriate, given that it may cut into the month-long sessions of structured silent prayer and reflection in which Swisher students normally engage at the beginning of each academic year. McTierney was able to broker a compromise between parents favoring the competing plans by requiring that the entire bus ride to the Creation Museum will consist solely of structured silent prayer and reflection.
The Creation Museum field trip, along with the sessions of structured silent prayer and reflection, will be led by Dea. Herbert F. McGerbert.
