And over in Kansas. . .

The Kansas State Board of Education rewrote its science standards, including a fanciful definition of science that allows for supernatural explanations. The Wichita Eagle (July 9, 2006) commented, "It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry about the doings of the Kansas State Board of Education. A faction of far-right conservatives has turned the state board into its own ideological hobbyhorse, drawing widespread condemnation from the academic community, not to mention international ridicule. ... The board's ideological and ill-informed approach to evolution and science standards has been nothing short of a fiasco." Sounds familiar?
Over in Missouri, the Kansas City Star (July 9, 2006) commented, "Kansans deserve a better state Board of Education."


Perhaps the "gedolim" deserve Kansas.
