Kansas School Board OKs Evolution Language
By JOHN HANNA, Associated Press Writer
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.
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 new 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 new standards were Republicans. Two Republicans and two Democrats voted no.
When cases about church/state have gone to trial, have they been settled by 'Republican' judges?
Has the right's success at packing schoolboards been met with Republican judicial activists packing the circuit courts and such?
Where does Alito stand on church and state separation?
And don't forget Pennsylvania:
