Kansas 1, Discovery Institute 0, Final

The Kansas Board of Education has thrown out the bogus "intelligent design" standards in favor of scientific standards.

Harry McDonald, a retired science teacher from Olathe and a member of Kansas Citizens for Science, applauded the board for quickly revisiting the science standards.

“The time for deliberation has passed,” he said. “It is time to act.”

McDonald taught high school biology in Stanley, Ks., about five miles from Stilwell, Ks. Education does matter. Way to go, Mr. McDonald, and BTW I'm still sorry about that unfortunate incident with the Bunsen burner.

Congratulations to the citizens of Kansas for rejecting a bald political attempt to ruin their schools in the name of religion.
