Well - it does prove that Kansas hasn't done much of a job of teaching science up 'till now. ...

If we let the kids examine creationism as a science as the Board demands, and make them write their lab reports citing the experiments by which they showed that creationism stands up to scientific examination, those who choose to "study" creationism will all have to be flunked, and won't get to graduate, and will be unsuited for any occupation except "member of the school bored."

It probably didn't make the national headlines but the same board also appointed a head honcho for education administration with NO school teaching or administrative experience, and who's only qualification for the job has been leading anti-school-funding lobbies at the State Capitol for the past few years.

And one of our State Senators (female) says that "women shouldn't have needed the right to vote if men took care of them like they should." (Our next State Constitutional Amendment?)

The "bright light" is that the "new science criteria" won't appear on student tests for at least two years, so they don't have to be taught immediately - and four of the six IDIOTS are up for election before then...
