"It's a sad day for American science. We've lost Kansas.

For the next few years, a lot of schoolkids are going to get taught slippery twaddle—instead of learning what scientists actually say about biology, they're going to get the phony pseudoscience of ideologues and dishonest hucksters. And that means the next generation of Kansans are going to be a little less well informed, even more prone to believing the prattlings of liars, and the cycle will keep on going, keep on getting worse....

Goodbye, Kansas. I don't expect to see many of your sons and daughters at my university in coming years, unless the teachers of your state refuse to support the outrageous crapola their school board has foisted on them. I hope the rest of the country moves on, refusing to join you in your stagnant backwater of 18th century hokum."

9. ok but isn't the Dover Pa case in a Fed Court and wouldn't that

override the Kansas School Board? What do they know, anyway, they were probably educated in Kansas!

[bridgit]

11. were a deist to be sitting in the WH, my sense is that evangelical...

fundamentalist christian extremisms would not be prevalent so near the minds of our children; which is to suggest that it could all be turned around kansas, or no kansas.

10. What a sad retrograde decision. Let's hope they build lots of rifle ranges

in their high schools so their extremely poorly educated young crusaders will be ready to become cannon fodder.

[bridgit]

12. too true; whether cannon fodder, or canon fodder; the installation...

of the bush admin with so little opposition has made all these sadder likelihoods all to possible. but i emphasis "possible". it has gone on too long, and it is well past time to vote them the hell out of office.
