News from Kansas seems to be that Bacon & Willard won their primaries and Morris & Patzer lost, being replaced by pro-science Republicans. As Nick notes, "[t]he likelihood is therefore that the new Board of Education will switch from being a 6-4 pro-creationism majority to at least a 6-4 pro-science majority (depending on the November general election). This probably means the pro-ID/creationism science standards are history." Things are looking good for Kansas at last.

It looks like evolution is happening, in the Board of Education, of all places. Or the switch in majority could be an example of Intelligent Design, how ironic.
