Kansas Adopts New Science Standards

Posted by Zonk on from the in-line-with-the-rest-of-us dept.

porcupine8 writes "The Kansas State Board of Education has changed the state science standards once again, this time to take out language questioning evolution. This turnaround comes fast on the heels of the ouster given this past election to the ultra-conservative Board members who originally introduced the language. 'Science' has also been re-redefined as 'a human activity of systematically seeking natural explanations' (the word 'natural' had been previously stricken from the definition). If you'd like to see the new standards, a version showing all additions and deletions is available from the KS DOE's website (PDF)."

      That doesn't prove God hates Kansas. It just proves that he wants to transport their homes to magical lands occupied by midgets.

    So what you're saying it that you're the retarded offspring of five monkeys that had butt sex with a retarded fish-squirrel?

    No. he is saying that he is the retarded offspring of five monkeys that had regular sex with a retarded fish-squirrel.

    Apparently, our next task in Kansas is to amend the sex education textbooks.
