As a Kansan, who is sometimes not very proud of the decisions my state makes, I want to spread this news far and wide:

The Kansas School Board has, once again, re-instated PRO science standards thanks to a non-crazy-conservative-majority on the School Board. Thank you Kansas voters!!!!

Intelligent Design will no longer even be MENTIONED in Science Classes in the state. Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

Go see the movie "Flock of Dodos." It is inspiring and enlightening.  I learned a LOT.

School Board Members Steve Abrams, John Bacon, Kathy Martin, Ken Willard TAKE NOTE:

There is NO evolution controversy.

Just as the Theory of Gravity is a Theory, The Theory of Evolution is ALSO a theory.

However, even though these things cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, Evolution is MORE of a fact than anything else.

There is no controversy. There are ZERO valid arguments AGAINST evolution.

By the way, I am an ADAMENT Christian and an ADAMENT EVOLUTIONIST. The two are NOT incompatible in ANY WAY.

Teach students to think critically about how Bush is destroying the country they live in. Teach students to think critically about politics and literature, the government and mainstream media.

But you cannot think "critically" about evolution. Evolution is basically proven through the fossil record and evolution is still taking place today. It is a fact.

There are ZERO other scientifically-valid theories on explaining how life has developed and changed over time.

There is a valid, religious-view that God just poof, created us. But it is NOT Science, and should NOT be taught in schools. No religious viewpoint should be taught in schools. And Intelligent Design IS a religious viewpoint. It is not science and has absolutely ZERO scientific support.

The Separation of Church and State is one of the GREATEST things about America and has helped our country EVOLVE into the great power that it is. Let's keep it that way.
