Joao Paulo -
As a resident of Kansas, I can tell you that the furor over this issue is
just beginning. We have reason to hope that this resolution will be shot
down in the courts. Meanwhile, most educators will continue to teach science
just as they always have, complete with theory of evolution.
It might interest you to know that you weren't far wrong in thinking next
they'd be saying the world is flat. I understand that this group of fanatics
asserts that the theory of gravity is "not proven," and may indeed believe
that the earth is the center of the solar system.
The school board members who voted this, after being deadlocked on the issue
for 2-1/2 years, consists of a number of people who got into office by
concealing their affiliation with the radical right. It will teach us, I
hope, to be more vigilant in whom we elect to office!

The board of education in Kansas is accused of taking the
state back 100 years as it votes to drop Darwin's theory of
evolution from the curriculum.
I suppose that next they will state that the Earth and NOT the Sun is
the center of ours system... :-)
