On Nov. 8th, 2006 the Kansas Board of Education formally filed for a divorce from reality. By a 6-4 margin, board members adopted new public-school standards that elevate the concept of intelligent design to the same academic standing as the theory of evolution.
This is particularly distressing at a time when less American kids are going into fields involving Math and Science. While China produces 150,000 programmers per year, children in Kansas will be forced to study supernatural causes for opposable thumbs. Not only is this decision damaging to the children of Kansas; it also perpetuates an ugly, anti-intellectual crusade intended to introduce a very Christian God into every classroom in the United States.
Charles Krauthammer writes a very stirring op-ed piece explaining the blatant fraud of intelligent design.
