Rushing to re-write science standards in Kansas

The new "moderate" majority on the Kansas School Board is rushing to re-write state science standards to be more evolution friendly.

Nothing like improving our education by promoting flawed science in the classroom. It doesn't matter that evolution as a theory of origins is deeply flawed, it's the flavor that scientists like to lick on the most so our children will learn it as fact anyway.

Excerpt:

Incumbent John Bacon of Olathe, a Republican, has been part of a conservative voting bloc on the board since he took office in 1999. In the past 13 months, he’s voted with a six-member conservative majority to approve science standards that cast doubts on the theory of evolution, hire Bob Corkins as education commissioner and tweak health standards to mandate an opt-in policy for sex education.

Challenger Don Weiss, a Democrat from Olathe, has said he would have voted “no” on all three matters.
