Kan. School Board OKs Evolution Language
TOPEKA, Kan. - Risking the kind of nationwide ridicule it faced six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public-school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.

All six of those who voted for the new standards were Republicans. Two Republicans and two Democrats voted no.

"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.

Supporters of the new standards said they will promote academic freedom. "It gets rid of a lot of dogma that's being taught in the classroom today," said board member John Bacon, an Olathe Republican.

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

So, once again, repugs try to dumb down America! Guess that's the only way anyone will listen to them! Or that will listen to mind-bogglingly absurd statements like introducing religion into science class will get "rid of a lot of dagma that's being taught" without laughing in their faces!
And these morons are actually rewriting the definition of science!!!! Yikes!
Thank goodness I don't live in Kansas!!!
