I understand a referendum also passed to put a ballot measure on the ballot in the fall. It will ask a single question;
Should the official state bird of Kansas be changed from the Western Meadowlark to the Common Loon?
Posted by snark at August 2, 2006 02:05 PMThe anti-evolution members have not evolved at all, but they also have showed absolutely no intelligent design with their silliness, either. Where the hell did they come from? Mars, of course. Why do you think Bush is talking about going there...
Posted by tempus at August 2, 2006 02:29 PMHasn't Kansas done something like this before? IIRC this is the second State School Board to impose creationism in Kansas. In 1999 there was a ruling that evolution would not appear on state tests. That was reversed in 2001.
This ruling may have been more sweeping, but the fact that there are people in Kansas who are so afraid of the world that they would prefer not to know about it, seems to have remained the same.
I have never been able to understand why anyone wold want to have a God who is too weak to defend his creation against the ideas of a human being.
