Kansas may well turn out to be the Waterloo for America's evolution vendors. Back in 1999 the Kansas school board diminished their market. A few years later, reactionist school board members were voted out and the vendors were back in business, freely selling their wares. And now, a few years later, the reactionists are back. So the fun is about to begin in earnest, and I'll devote some space to reporting it here. But for the moment, I want to take us back to 1999 when the first reports of an allergic reaction to evolution were reported in Kansas. My favorite article from that time is by A.N. Wilson, with his reference to Kansas as the "Land of the Credulous Moron." MORE.
