Kansas

This is a sad day. We’re becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that. – Kansas Board of Education board member, Janet Waugh

And it’s true. Even as I shake my head in disbelief and dismay at the recent actions of the Kansas Board of Education to include “intelligent design” in public school education standards, my heart also goes out to all the kids who are being robbed of an education through no fault of their own. In addition, the Board even re-wrote the definition of science, to say that science is ” no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena”. What a wonderful world.
