Kansas BOE rewrites definition of science
New standards question accuracy of evolutionary theory

Tuesday, November 8, 2005; Posted: 7:05 p.m. EST (00:05 GMT)

TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- At the risk of re-igniting the same heated nationwide debate it sparked six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.

The 6-4 vote was a victory for "intelligent design" advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.

Critics of the language charged that it was an attempt to inject God and creationism into public schools in violation of the separation of church and state.

All six of those who voted for the standards were Republicans. Two Republicans and two Democrats voted against them.

"This is a sad day. We're becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that," said board member Janet Waugh, a Kansas City Democrat.

I have to drive into Kansas every day to go to work. I can feel my IQ dropping already.

Idiots. Dumbasses. Conservative, Right Wing morons.

God is laughing hysterically at the total irony of it all.

So Libertarians want to take over one state and Christian fundamentalists want to take over another. What's next?

DOVER, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Voters on Tuesday ousted a Pennsylvania local school board that promoted an "intelligent-design" alternative to teaching evolution, and elected a new slate of candidates who promised to remove the concept from science classes.

Let the pendulum swing.
