Following the election defeat of some ultra-conservative fascists last November, the Kansas Board of Education is preparing to take up the issue of evolution vs. creationism today. Back in 2005 the previous board essentially outlawed the teaching of evolution in the state's school system.
Religous fanatics are up in arms, claiming that evolution can't be proven and is not in accordance with the Bible's teachings. (For those of you not paying attention, this is what an "American Taliban" would sound like.)
The way I see it, this is pretty cut and dry. Evolution is a science and should be taught in science class. Creationism is more of a religous belief and therefore if parents want their kids to weigh both sides it should be discussed in church.
End. Of. Story.
