People From Kansas Are Inbred Gay Faggots |
TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- Kansas' long-running war over the teaching of
evolution is headed for another showdown this week between science and
the advocates of intelligent design.
The state Board of Education plans to vote Tuesday on academic
standards that will direct the development of student tests used to
measure how well Kansas' public schools teach the sciences.
Six of the 10 board members have previously endorsed language sought by
advocates of intelligent design, a theory that says the universe is so
complex it must have been created by a higher force.
Opponents of teaching intelligent design as science argue that it's
largely creationism -- a literal reading of the Bible's story of
creation -- camouflaged in scientific language.
The state's new academic standards won't dictate what classroom
teachers actually teach, that will be left to the local school boards.
But some educators worry the state standards will encourage evolution
opponents to pressure their local boards.
"At some point, teachers in some districts are going to say it's not
worth the hassle," said Ken Bingman, who teaches biology at Blue Valley
West High School in the Kansas City area.
Others states have also dealt with conflicts over the teaching of
evolution and intelligent design. In Pennsylvania, a federal judge is
expected to rule soon in a lawsuit against a school district policy
that requires students hear about intelligent design.
But Kansas' debate over evolution has drawn international attention --
and ridicule -- since it began in 1999.
That year, the board struck most references to evolution from the
standards. Two years later, a less conservative board rewrote the
standards to treat evolution as well-established science that is
crucial for students to understand.
"It's the one area that never gets settled," said Mike Ford, who
teaches astronomy and physical sciences at Holton High School, about 30
miles north of Topeka. "It's like a game of pingpong."
Intelligent design advocates have found support among some parents and
school board members. A recent statewide poll by news organizations
suggested a slight majority of Kansans favored teaching intelligent
design.
"I want to you respect my side, and I will respect your side," said
Kent Swartz, a banker and creationist who serves on the South Barber
County school board southwest of Wichita.
Some students also want to discuss evolution and intelligent design in
the classroom.
Adam Fiedler, a 17-year-old Holton High senior, says a debate would
make science more interesting.
"I think students should hear the information and form their own
opinions," said Fiedler, who hopes to teach science and math after
college. "We're just in the infancy of evolution. We could spend
another thousand years -- or two -- on research."

I'd be embarrassed to be from fucking Kansas. What a bunch of morons.
When we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers who would
tell the children that we had evolved.
By claiming our descent from monkeys, way up in the trees, Denying our
creation, they're teaching atheism, stop it please,
And in church it was well known when they got home at night, they'd read
Dobzhansky, Darwin, and Mayr, and fall down to their knees...
We don't need no evolution, we don't need no thought control, No Darwinism,
in the classroom, Teachers leave them kids alone Hey teachers, leave them
kids alone
We don't need no evolution, we don't need no thought control, No Darwinism,
in the classroom, Teachers leave them kids alone Hey teachers, leave them
kids alone
All in all you're just a-nother gene in the pool All in all you are, all
just genes in the pool
Wrong, Do it again!
If you don't change your genes, you can't have speciation.
How can you have any speciation if you don't change your genes?
You! Yes, you behind the fossils, stand still laddy!
