The National Academy of Sciences and National Science Teachers
Association issued a Joint Statement on Oct 27, 2005 that
includes the following declaration:

"For these reasons and others that we detail in our individual
responses, we must again dissociate our organizations and our
publications from version 2-d of the KSES by denying copyright
permission to the Kansas State Board of Education."

The full text of the Joint Statement is at:

=====================
Well, good, I say. If the fundie Kansas Board of Education want to pick and choose where they can inculcate their I.D. delusions in the classroom, they have to pay for it. That "power" is making (sadly) a laughing stock out of their education system.



"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson
