    Extractions: The Political Lessons of Kansas The popularly elected Kansas State Board of Education voted Aug. 11 to enact science education standards that contain no mention of biological macroevolution, the age of Earth, or the origin of the universe—a trio of unifying principles for biology, geology, physics and astronomy. Far from an isolated incident, the Kansas decision is the biggest crest of a third wave of the creationists’ assault on the teaching of evolution. Since the 1960s, the courts have soundly rejected an earlier banning of evolution and the subsequent efforts to win “equal time” in the classroom for creationism. The new Kansas standards, which were drafted with the aid of the Creation Science Association for Mid-America, simply drop evolutionary theory from the curriculum and statewide assessment tests. Just as the near-death experience of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1995 motivated many geoscientists to take greater interest in events on Capitol Hill, so should events in Kansas serve as a wake-up call for geoscientists to get involved in their school boards, town councils, and state governments. In heeding such a call, however, geoscientists need to appreciate the political landscape that awaits them. Democracy in Action?

    Extractions: Date: 02/14/01 22:15 TOPEKA Reversing a decision that sparked international criticism and 18 months of tension, the Kansas Board of Education on Wednesday approved new science standards that emphasize evolution. A feeling of relief settled in the packed meeting room after the vote, but several board members and observers said the debate was far from finished. "I'm really gratified that this chapter is over," said John Staver, a Kansas State University professor and co-chairman of the 27-member committee of science educators who wrote the new standards. But, he said, "the book is not closed." Businessman Dave Raffel of Shawnee, an evolution supporter, said, "This is one step down along a long road that there doesn't seem to be any end to." Critics of the board's vote said the Kansas debate had opened a floodgate that couldn't be closed.

    Extractions: Education in Kansas In August of 1999 the Kansas State Board of Education voted to eliminate the requirement of testing of students on their knowledge of Evolution. The decision does not forbid teaching of Evolution, but represents an obvious step in the direction of gutting education in favor of the religious beliefs of a minority. While belief in evolution is an individual matter, the only conceivable reason for suppressing that belief is sectarian. The decision and public reactions to it make it clear that the teaching of the Theory of Evolution was already woefully inadequate, and generally misunderstood. A "Theory" is not a guess. Theory is a designation given to an explanation of natural phenomena which is overwhelmingly supported by evidence. Evolution is clearly proved. The existance of gaps in the evolutionary record do not disprove it any more than the millions of gaps in historical records prove that history did not happen. The absence of historical records of Jesus does not disprove His existance.

    Extractions: Myasthenia Gravis comes from the Greek (Myasthenia - muscle weakness) and the Latin (Gravis - severe). It is a neuro-muscular disease characterized by spells of extreme weakness, but is really not a disease of either the nerve or the muscles. In this baffling affliction, it is the communication between nerve and muscle that is lacking. The healthy nerve cannot send its message to the healthy muscle because the myasthenic's body lacks a substance which acts like an electric conductor between the nerve and muscle. Symptoms include: Drooping eyelids Double vision Difficulty in smiling, speaking and swallowing Weakness of arms and legs When chest muscles are affected breathing is difficult Ever-present, extreme fatigue MG can strike anyone at any age, though it is not contagious. It is a potential killer. However, with early diagnosis and proper medical treatment, the disease can usually be controlled, and in most cases, the patient can lead a normal life. Mission Statement The mission of the Myasthenia Gravis Association is to provide information and patient services to improve the lives of all people affected by MG and to promote research to find a cure and prevention of this disease.

    Extractions: To the relief of scientists and science educators both locally and nationwide, evolution has returned to Kansas. In a widely watched vote on Valentine's Day, February 14, evolution was restored as a central theory to Kansas school standards. The newly constituted State Board of Education voted 7 to 3 to approve the new science standards. The new standards include questions on evolution, which will now be considered one of the unifying concepts of the state's science curriculum. References to the great age of Earth and to the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe were also restored. The new standards are based on scientific theories accepted by the majority of scientists around the world. They draw on documents from the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Science Teachers Association. The three organizations issued a joint statement praising the new board's actions.

    Extractions: By DAVID MILES TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) A decade ago, the biggest complaint about the Kansas Board of Education was that no one knew exactly what it did or who served on it. A lack of visibility isn't the board's problem now, after its approval last year of new science testing standards that de-emphasize evolution. The decision has become the hottest issue in Kansas politics, with unprecedented attention and spending in the campaigns for board seats. The Aug. 1 primaries are crucial because the makeup of the board could decide the fate of the science standards; five of the 10 board seats will be filled in the November election. Conservative Republicans in 1999 led the board in its 6-4 vote to approve the standards, with moderate Republicans and Democrats dissenting. The standards, which are not mandatory for school districts to follow, play down the importance of evolution and omit the Big Bang theory of the universe's origin. Sue Gamble is challenging incumbent board member Linda Holloway, the board's chairwoman when it made the decision. Gamble says students will be negatively affected by the new standards. "They are depriving kids of information that they need to be competitive at the college level," says Gamble, a member of the Shawnee Mission school board. "A good, solid science curriculum would include evolution."

    Extractions: 13 August 1999 Use this version to print The Kansas Board of Education voted Wednesday to delete virtually all references to evolution, natural selection and the origins of the universe from the state's science curriculum. The decision represents the most far-reaching success thus far for the Religious Right and its attempt to ban Darwinism from public school classrooms in the US. Under the new guidelines for K-12 students, individual science teachers will not be barred from teaching evolution, but it will no longer be included in state tests, and therefore can be dropped from the curriculum of local school boards. Presented by the state board as a victory for local school "choice," the move is expected to encourage Christian conservatives to push for a complete ban on the teaching of evolution in local school districts and to force teachers to question the validity of evolution and teach creationism. Kenneth Miller, a Brown University biology professor and staunch advocate of teaching evolution, told the

    Extractions: Opponents of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution have scored a victory in the United States after the board of education in Kansas voted to drop evolution as a subject in the science curriculum. The State School Board approved by six votes to four a new curriculum that eliminates the teaching of evolution. The BBC's Paul Reynolds: Success for the creationists It offered a compromise instead, endorsing the theory of micro-evolution - which explains changes within a species - but rejecting evolution as a way of explaining the origin of species. The decision is being seen as a victory for the supporters of creationism who believe the world came into being more or less as described in the Bible and who refuse to accept Darwin's teaching as scientific fact. 'Bunch of hicks' ... Evolutionists gave a hostile reaction to the decision, saying that it would diminish the credibility of the Kansas curriculum.

    Extractions: By Laura Rozen M any Kansans were shocked when they opened their newspapers last month to learn that the Kansas Board of Education had voted 6 to 4 to remove the teaching of evolution from the state's science standards and that, overnight, they had become the nation's laughingstock. But the decision came as no surprise to Tim Golba. An anti-abortion activist, Golba has spent the past decade running political action seminars across the state for Kansans for Life, teaching fellow Christian conservatives in the state how to gain political power. This past November, Golba's work paid off, as Christian conservatives took control of the Kansas Board of Education, paving the way for the Aug. 11 school board decision, which in effect gives Kansas' 308 local school boards the choice of whether to include the teaching of evolution in their science curricula.
