KANSAS DE-EVOLVES ON SCIENCE TEACHING: SCHOOLS MAY TEACH CREATIONISM, NEW AGE AC
na 64 vote Wednesday, the kansas Board of education adopted new guidelines whichset the most anti-evolution science education standards in the country
http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/evol3.htm

Extractions: FLASHLINE Web Posted: August 14, 1999 n a 6-4 vote Wednesday, the Kansas Board of Education adopted new guidelines which set "the most anti-evolution science education standards in the country," according to the Washington Times newspaper. The action ignored the recommendations of a 27-member committee of scientists and teachers that had labored for more than a year grappling with questions of education, religion and public school instruction. As a result, the state's 304 school districts will now be given the option of presenting scientific evolution, creationism or other accounts in science instruction classes. Dr. John Staver, who chaired the scientific committee that drafted the original recommendations, called the board's decision "a travesty to science education," and added: "Kansas just embarrassed itself on the national stage." He predicted that as a result of the vote, students in Kansas "are going to be behind their peers," because of "incomplete" science education. Governor Bill Graves echoed that sentiment, telling the Kansas Journal-World newspaper, "This is a terrible, tragic, embarrassing solution to a problem that did not exist." And committee co-chair Loren Lukes said that the majority of the education board chose religious beliefs over the scientific literacy of students. "They have no basis for their changes other than their own belief system," Lutes declared.
KANSAS IS NEXT BATTLEGROUND IN EVOLUTION DEBATE

http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/evol2.htm

Extractions: FLASHLINE Web Posted: August 9, 1999 ike Dorothy and her dog in the famous "Wizard of Oz" book, the standard of teaching evolution as a scientific fact may not be around much longer in Kansas public schools. On Wednesday, the Kansas Board of Education meets for a showdown over a new statewide curriculum covering all primary and high schools that "wipes out virtually all mention of evolution and related concepts: natural selection, common ancestors and the origin of the universe," according to the Washington Post. Proposed by a vocal conservative majority which now holds sway on the Board, the curriculum guidelines while not explicitly prohibiting the teaching of evolution leave the door open for infusing school classes with creationist and other religious doctrines by declaring that "no evidence contradicting a current scientific theory shall be censored." Other proposed sections leave out any reference to Marco-evolution, the concept that species evolve into other species given time and the propitious physical conditions. And the proposed guidelines leave out a critical statement included in current standards which requires all students to understand "that evolution by natural selection is a broad, unifying theoretical framework in biology." The Wednesday meeting caps years of work in Kansas and other states Claims like that lead to other questions which reflect cultural stresses and dislocations in an increasingly complex and secular culture. Creationist advocates often include other objections to public school curriculum, touching upon issues such as sex education, teaching tolerance and that charge that the nation's public schools are hostage to a "conspiracy" of secular humanists. Some, such as Christian Reconstructionist Samuel Blumenfeld, charge that the problem is not just what is being taught in schools, but the entire public school system which "undermines Christians' ability to influence their children." According to the Kansas City Star newspaper, Blumenfeld and other Christian conservatives "want to return to a time when public schools worked," and supposedly reflected the views of Calvinist founders "who believed that man is, by nature, a depraved creature who needs fear of a higher power to do the right thing."

The Controversy Over The Kansas Science Standards
A part of an effort to develop clearer, more effective guidelines for public schoolcurricula in kansas, the State Board of education appointed a 27member
http://www.wheaton.edu/ACG/essays/miller1.html

Extractions: First, some words about how the current situation developed. A part of an effort to develop clearer, more effective guidelines for public school curricula in Kansas, the State Board of Education appointed a 27-member committee of K-12 science teachers, science educators, and scientists to develop a science standards document . Over a 13-month period, it went through several drafts and several rounds of public comment. During this process there was considerable opposition by certain Christian groups who sought the elimination of evolution from the curriculum. In the end, the resulting document was really quite well-written and stressed both the nature and methodologies of science as well as several unifying theories and concepts (including evolutionary theory) that cut across disciplines. This standards document was before the State Board of Education for three months awaiting approval. However, one state board member put forward an alternative proposal that had completely bypassed any process of review or public comment. It was largely ghost-written by members of a local creation science organization. This document eliminated any mention of evolution and also removed reference to any unifying scientific theories. It rather put the focus on "technological science," and dismissed "theoretical science" as unproven speculation with little practical application. Fully half the members of the State Board of Education (an elected body under no other political, educational, or legislative body) favored this proposal over the document developed by the education committee, resulting in an immediate deadlock.

http://speakout.com/activism/news/5643-1.html

Extractions: Thursday, February 15, 2001 Sue Gamble is one of the Kansas State Board of Education who voted to reinstate curriculum about evolution. Two years ago, the Kansas State Board of Education ignited a firestorm of controversy by voting to remove from the state's public school curriculum the theory of evolution as the sole explanation of the origin of man. But in a 7-to-3 vote Wednesday, the board reversed that decision, reinstating evolution as the sole theory and essentially mandating evolution be taught in public schools throughout the state. An omen of the change came last August when voters in a Republican primary defeated two of the members of the school board who had supported the earlier anti-evolution decision. A third conservative board member resigned and moved out of the state. All three of the new board members who replaced those conservatives, Republicans Sue Gamble, Bruce Wyatt, and Carol Rupe voted in favor of the new standards. The anti-evolution standards, crafted by religious conservatives on the previous board, brought Kansas international attention and significant ridicule from scientists and science groups.

From the Press Release Archive NSTA Issues Joint Statement with NRC and AAASto Deny kansas State Board of education Copyright Permission Sep 23 1999
http://www.nsta.org/pressroom&news_story_ID=45630

Extractions: Late last month, all three organizations received a request from lawyers representing the Kansas State Board of Education to reprint portions from Pathways to the Science Standards (published by the NSTA), National Science Education Standards (published by the Research Council), and Benchmarks for Science Literacy (published by AAAS). The organizations had given tentative permission to the writing team from Kansas to incorporate portions of the publications into drafts of the Kansas Science Education Standards. The organizations indicated that the Kansas standards do not embrace the full vision and content of any of the three documents, and they therefore requested that "reference to and acknowledgment of the national Standards, Benchmarks, and Pathways be removed from the Kansas document." The statement also calls for the elimination of specific text, including "the Kansas Science Education Standards are founded not only on the research base but also on the work of over 18,000 scientists, science educators, teachers, school administrators and parents across the country that produced national standards, as well as the school district teams and thousands of individuals who contributed to the benchmarks."

From The Kansas Decision

Extractions: Rnewman@Biblical.edu From Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith (June 2000): 81-83. Response Miller M ost of you, I suspect, heard news reports back in August 1999 on the decision of the Kansas Board of Education regarding evolution. Did you get any clear idea of what happened? From the first, the treatment seemed rather hyped (front-page coverage in the New York Times , articles in European papers), and especially when I learned what the board had actually done. Contrary to the headline in U. S. News and World Report "Charles Darwin Gets Thrown Out of School"nothing of the sort occurred. What did happen, and what does it mean? The resulting standards by no means forbid the teaching of evolution, but now they no longer require it. This guarantees there will be virtually no questions relating to evolution in the statewide student competency exams after July 2000. Thus the state board has left it up to local school boards whether evolution will be taught in their areas. And the powers that be in education, biology, and geology are upset, as the media coverage indicates. Phil Johnson, author of
