The pendulum swings

It must be an odd numbered year. The Kansas Board of Education has voted to bring science back into the classroom with a decision to treat evolutionary theory as the basis of modern biological thought. The theory's brief absence was due to a ruling by the previous Board that God should have her moment in the sun so to speak.

The issue is expected to run and run in the state which was once, believe it or not, a haven for radical thinking. According to John Calvert of the Intelligent Design Network: "You can’t keep science in a box". They do think that they can keep it a coffin if they can just get it in there!
