So that's exactly what we're going to do! Instead of getting mostly science with a bit of creationism thrown it, now it's no science at all. Good job denying the young people a science education and punishing the people not responsible.

well... i live in kansas. its more complicated than just pulling science out. years back... pat robertson told his followers to not mention the fact that they were religious nuts... just get into and win as many local races i.e. school boards, etc.
most of this craziness comes from next door... the hillbillies in missouri. kansas was close and they have exported this to our state. the bottom line is that kansas is a rural farming state and there are no animals or plants here that haven't been selected by humans or nature and regardless of religious affiliation by in large kansans don't believe this crap. but they did do as pat robertson said and infiltrate. so... this is a case of a small band of infiltrators subverting our educational system. they are establishing the methods to export it to your state.
as a kansan i support the aaas threat. it is too easy to say... ok let them say their peace and then we'll get on with teaching. they need to be stopped. they need to hassled legally. if the education system is in jeopardy now... then it will force the people of kansas and your state when they get there.... to make a choice to not teach ignorance in schools. this is a war... you are mistaking it for political semantics.
