Kansas Evolution Hearings- An Update

As I noted in a previous post, the Kansas State Board of Education held 3 days of hearings last week on evolution vs. intelligent design. Among the many news reports of the hearings is one by the Lawrence Journal World quoting two of the three members of the subcommittee conducting the hearing as saying that they had only scanned the controversial proposals. Indicating that she had not read the proposed new standards carefully, one of the board members said, "I'm not a word-for-word reader in this kind of technical information".
