In the News: Evolution likely to be big issue in races next year |

TOPEKA, Kan. - Voters in Kansas should expect to hear plenty about
evolution next year.
Five State Board of Education members face re-election in 2006, and a
debate the board expects to have this summer on science standards is
likely to be the biggest issue.
The board now has a 6-4 majority of evolution skeptics, all
conservative Republicans. Four of the five members up for election
next year are part of that bloc.
"We've got to have a change," said board member Sue Gamble, a Shawnee
Republican and a member of the board's evolution-defending moderate
bloc. "The majority has to change, or we're going to take a step
backward."
