Hurting Kansas Kids

Andrew Kantor writes in response to the Kansas school board decision on evolution and intelligent design:

Let's set aside the fact that the Kansas school board voted to teach creationism in schools. There's something more important in the board's decision. Per CNN:

In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

So now, in Kansas, science isn't science anymore. Astrology, witchcraft, miracles, angry gods, voodoo curses -- these are all legitimate explanations for what we see in the world.

Does no one see that this is going to hurt kids in Kansas schools if they want to go to college? Like it or not, agree with it or not, universities are going to discount these kids' science grades when they see 'KS' on the application.

Good job, school board. Way to go.
