As Minnesota’s education commissioner, Yecke drew criticism in what was a tumultuous political battle between the newly elected governor and the DFL- controlled Senate.

Cheri Pierson Yecke (born February 5, 1955) is a conservative Republican educator in the United States.

Both in Minnesota in 2003 and in Florida in 2005, allegations of nepotism were raised by state legislators and the press over Yecke’s husband being placed in state jobs soon after Yecke had taken her positions. During her tenure as Minnesota’s education commissioner in 2003, Yecke’s husband was appointed as a deputy commissioner with the state’s economic development agency by Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty during a hiring freeze.

In July 2003 during her term as education commissioner, Yecke proposed that the Minnesota Science Standards include a technique favored by intelligent design proponents called Teach The Controversy in science curriculum. She cited the pro-intelligent design Santorum Amendment as supporting her effort. The versions of the Minnesota Science Standards circulated by Yecke contained language used by intelligent design advocates in the Teach The Controversy campaign which casts doubt on evolution while offering intelligent design as a competing theory. The version that was circulated among the public did not include these revisions. PZ Myers and other critics of intelligent design deemed the move an attempt to misinform the public in order to sway the committee decision in favor of intelligent design using public opinion.
