these policies are at the university or state level. most university policies of this sort are not enforced (cost:benefit prohibitive, as exemplified here), have loop-holes (cannot collect royalties on books they require for their own classes, so professors collude and require each other's book). i haven't heard of (and couldn't find) a state prosecuting a professor who broke a relevant law.

People from Kansas are Kansans.

When these guys get violent, the comparison will be a bit more apt, I think.

I would think they've become pretty violent already.

I live in Lawrence and work at the University of Kansas (KU).

The Lawrence Journal-World is a newspaper in Lawrence.

The Daily Kansan is the student newspaper run from KU.

Who knows? I don't, but I feel sorry for all involved... the militant religious, the militant atheists, and stupids who have to put up with such a politicized anti-Evolution anti-religious crap. Long story short, people are idiots.
