In the days after Republican presidential candidate Arizona Sen. John McCain named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin his running mate, many are learning about her and her positions on political issues.
The nation learned in recent weeks about Palin's personal life and her stances on issues such as abortion, gay marriage and teaching evolution, an issue that put Dover Area School District in the national spotlight in 2005.
During a 2006 gubernatorial debate in Alaska, Palin was asked if she supported teaching an alternative to evolution.
"Teach both," Palin said at the televised debate, according to a news story in the Anchorage Daily News. "You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."
