The Kansas State Board of Education approved new education standards that put evolution as the pre-eminent standard for education and drops references to "intelligent design". An article here by the Houston Chronicle explains this further:

The KSBE has the decision and the small print on their website. Heres the link:

It is difficult to understand how public education anywhere could embrace the hokey "intelligent design" view as being scientific and as a more reasonable alternative to the internationally embraced standard of evolution. The disturbing thing is that the KSBE may reverse or abandon this decision once again in 2009. Lets hope that wiser heads and more enlightened voters don't allow this to happen.
