Evolution’s Backers in Kansas Start Counterattack

Bah, I say just cut the whole section out so everyone will stop bitching. It's probably the most useless chapter of the year anyway and not worth the trouble if you ask me. Since we can't even seem to teach 40% of our students to read at a highschool level we have more pressing issues to deal with. Besides, you need to know genetics (and far more than the Mendelian
type) to even begin to understand the principles. I'll admit I'm confused as to why schoolboards feel it's ok to cut atomic theory and (real) genetics out of the cirriculum because 'students just cant handle that level of material (dumbasses), but insist that they are benefiting from a frantic race through evolutionary theory.
