Kansas people lose their minds. Again.

Yesterday I mentioned that all eight school board members up for re-election in Dover, PA, who all supported ID, lost their races. Way to go, Penn! On the other hand, the Kansas Board of Education voted to rewrite state science class standards to be more skeptical of evolution. Every few years, Kansas has been flip-flopping on this one. Now they've gone back to an anti-science stance.

Again, evolution versus intelligent design is NOT a huge controversy in the scientific community. It's likely that less than 1% of scientists in the relevant fields back ID over evolution. Religious fundamentalists have made up a scientific controversy where there is none and don't want scientists and teachers to decide what's taught in science class.

Oh well, way to be ignorant and backwards, Kansas.
