Another Shift in the Kansas School Board

Byhenry

It’s looking good for the teaching of evolution in Kansas public schools, as reported by MSNBC, Evolution’s foes lose ground in Kansas. The balance of power shifted from 6-4 in favor of the ID standards to 6-4 against. The general election could change things slightly, but that looks like the worst case scenario for science standards.

Don’t miss Josh Rosenau’s comments on Thoughts from Kansas and his post titled Final Tallies: Science Wins in Kansas.

Science standards will be coming up here in Florida soon, so keep your eyes open. We want to make Florida’s standards for science education first rate. For more information on this, follow the Florida Citizen’s for Science web site.

Expelled! and the Atheism-Evolution Connection

There is something I want to clarify from my previous post on the topic. Nobody has mentioned this to me, but it is a common enough error that I think I need to say something explicit. I object both to the comparison of scientists supporting the theory of evolution to Nazis and the equation of…

  1. Just to clarify one thing:

    balance of power shifted from 6-4 in favor of the ID standards to 6-4 against. The general election could change things slightly, but that looks like the worst case scenario for science standards.

    Yes, 6-4 looks like the worst case scenario. Of the six current ID supporters on the board, two lost in the primaries, and two more face opponents in the general election. The best case scenario would be only two ID supporters remaining on the 10-member board.
