10. OK - Then they must teach ALL religions from Asatru to Zoroastrianism
:evilgrin: After all each religion has it's own theory on Intelligent Design. Since they are demanding that alternative views be offered it is only just and fair way to handle it IMO :evilgrin:

BTW here is a petition being sent to state governers saying they should keep science in the classroom and leave religion to houses of worship:

Dear ( Governor ),


I am deeply concerned about the Kansas State School Board's recent decision to revise Kansas' science education standards and the definition of science to allow any "logical explanations" for phenomena to be taught in the classroom.

I do not oppose exposing our children to philosophical and spiritual discussion around the origin and meaning of life - just not in the context of teaching science in a public school science classroom.

Therefore, I urge you ensure that our state's science curriculum and standards continue to emphasize evolution as a unifying concept in science and its overall explanatory power.

Our nation's future rests in the hands of our children. As American children continue to fall behind the rest of the world in math and science, the last thing we need to be doing is denying them an education based on the best available scientific knowledge.

Our children need schools that teach science, not ideology, as they prepare for the challenges of a new century.
