Kansas State School Board At It Once Again

Others have covered this story pretty well, but I would like to submit the reply to these questions jar posted from my local paper by Dr. Steve Case, co-chair of the science standards writing committee:Welcome kcfs.org - BlueHost.comI also posted a diary for any Daily Kos readers on this topic, primarily outlining the religious intent of those behind the ID movement to uproot evolution from our Kansas schools. Anyone attempting to state that this is NOT a religious movement is either horribly misinformed or blatantly lying. I tend to find in almost every case it seems to be the latter, and not the former:What Are Us Kansas Natives Truly Up Against With This Evolution "Trial"?Much of my sources I freely admit came from the KCFS website:Welcome kcfs.org - BlueHost.comAnd a very useful and informative blog from another local Lawrence resident, Josh Rosenau with updates on the "trial" can be found here:RedirectingHTHOpusEdit: One other thing to note - on our local Channel 6 News last night, there was a confession given by the 3 Conservative Board Members who are holding these "trials"/"hearings"/whateveryouwannacalltheseshananigans. When asked if any had read the Appproved Draft 2 on the Science Standards (written by the majority on the science panel), only 1 of the members admitted to fully reading Draft 2 (Steve Abrams). Of course it remains to be seen as to whether or not he actually understands it, but I digress. The other 2 members stated that they only "skimmed" the approved draft.Strange how just merely skimming the approved draft written by actual scientists gives them so much of a supporting opinion to take the Minority Report that advocates ID instead......This message has been edited by MisterOpus1, 05-09-2005 05:46 PM
