Actually in Kansas the existing school board voted 6-4 in favour of allowing I.D. onto the cirriculum. But who knows how the public will respond when their time for election comes up?

I still find it unfathomable that I live somewhere where I have to think about my students' anti-evolution beliefs when teaching the Scopes Trial & where putting a Darwin-fish (or a graven image of the FSM) on my car is a political statement of some meaning.

I'm thinking I should put a whole school of them on, in fact:

* Darwin
* FSM
* Gefilte
* Sushi
* Buddha
* Valen

that should cover my bases nicely.
