	One nation divided by science and faith \| www.azstarnet.com ® (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Dover and Kansas have emerged as icons for opposing views in the battle over teaching evolution and intelligent design in public schools.
		The voters of Dover last week tossed out all eight incumbent school board members who had required that biology classes be prefaced with an unscientific statement that tended to diminish the importance of evolutionary theory.
		Such distinctions appear to be lost on the Kansas State Board of Education, which in its recent vote ignored the distinctions between privately held religious beliefs and their applicability to science and public policy.

		Dover was founded in 1683 by William Penn, to whom the land comprising Delaware and Pennsylvania were granted by King Charles II of England.
		Dover is one of the fastest-growing areas in the State of Delaware, due in large part to the relatively low cost of living and high quality of life.

	Seed: The Dover Monkey Trial
		While Dover high school students and teachers were on break, a high school janitor removed a large student-painted mural from its place in one of the school's science labs and set it on fire.
		If, as seems increasingly likely, the Dover board—represented pro-bono by the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, which describes itself as dedicated to "defending and promoting the religious freedom of Christians" —loses its case, the fiscal penalty (comprised of the considerable legal expenses for the ACLU and co-litigants) could be substantial.
		The religious strife that Dover has already experienced may pale in comparison to the attacks and finger-pointing that will assuredly follow if Dover taxpayers have to underwrite a lawsuit that their elected school board inflicted upon the district.

	Kansas and Dover
		The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy.
		Meanwhile, the Kansas State Board of Education is trying to redefine science (by removing the requirement that science should only offer natural explanations for phenomena) so that they can sneak ID into science classes through the back door.
		There is some hope for Kansas, in that the Superintendents of many school districts have shown remarkable wisdom by indicating that they plan to ignore this nonsense.

	Thoughts from Kansas: Dover scorecard
		The representatives of the parents argued that ID is creationism (it is) and that this case is no different from McLean or Aguillard; the IDolators argued that it isn't, or that it is but evolution is just a different sort of religion, or that this is all about free speech.
		A district court in Georgia (not binding precedent) recently found that warning stickers (similar to the statement required by the Dover board) were a violation of the establishment clause.
		The content of a science curriculum ought to be established in a dialog between the parents in the community and the scientific community, but the courts don't deal in ought.

	The Kansas Board of Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Darwin's theory, a compelling one, may have its flaws, but it is good science, and from the start it has been open to others using the scientific method to quarrel with and question its particulars.
		Prior to Wednesday's vote, the presidents of Kansas' six public universities wrote a letter saying the new standards ''will set Kansas back a century and give hard-to-find science teachers no choice but to pursue other career fields or assignments outside of Kansas.
		WICHITA, KS (DPI) - When the Kansas Board of Education officially rejected Darwin's theory of Evolution as a scientific principle, most observers dismissed it as mere pandering to the conservatives who control the political agenda in the wheat-intensive midwestern state.

		The Kansas decision came as voters in Pennsylvania replaced all eight school board members who approved a similar policy in some of the state's schools.

	Is Kansas court battle over intelligent design next? \| LJWorld.com
		Harvey, an attorney for the Dover plaintiffs, said he hoped the Dover decision marked the triumph of reason and that it might prevent other cases from following a similar path to the courts.
		So far, the Kansas state school board has not required that intelligent design be taught in the public schools, so I don't see any basis for a lawsuit against that board.
		But that is different than not suing the Kansas Board because of risking "an embarrasing defeat." If one had legitimate standing to sue the Board over the standards, I think the probability is high that the standards would be held unconstitutional, according to the Dover criteria.

		Kansas became owned by the United States in 1803 along with the rest of the Louisiana Purchase.
		In 1821, the Santa Fe Trail across Kansas was opened as a primary route between Missouri and the Southwest, which it remained for some 60 years.
		It was the site of extremely violent conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces prior to statehood, earning it the name of "Bleeding Kansas." Kansas became a state in 1861, just in time for the Civil War, in which two-thirds of its military-age men fought, sustaining the highest mortality rate of any state in the Union.

	Kansas Citizens for Science: Special Update 12/21/05 - Statement by Steve Case
		The parallels between Kansas and Dover, Pennsylvania are striking.
		Bacon of the State Board of Education are arguing that Dover does not apply in Kansas because Kansas did not mandate ID teaching; however, the Dover school board did not do that, either.
		While the Kansas State Board of Education may argue, as they do in the introduction to the Standards, that they do not introduce the words, "intelligent design" into the Kansas Standards, they did introduce all of the elements of intelligent design that the Dover court used to define ID (as per the Dover Decision below).

	Pharyngula::At least the news from Dover is good
		Among the losing incumbents on the Dover, Pa., board were two members who testified in favor of the intelligent design policy at a recently concluded federal trial on the Dover policy: the chairwoman, Sheila Harkins, and Alan Bonsell.
		And the decision could hinge entirely on the dissembling of the school board members and their administrators, and not address the scientific and/or religious merits of ID. And with the school board having completely turned over, a decision for the plaintiffs is unlikely to be appealed by the new DASD board.

		Hearings were held in early May to consider competing recommendations from a committee of educators appointed by the board last year: A majority report supports state science standards that focus on evolutionary theory alone.
		Consider the seesaw debate in Kansas over the past six years: In 1999, a conservative state board struck most references to evolution in the standards.
		But what’s happening in Kansas, Dover and in many other places suggests that it may be even riskier to shut it down.

		Woe be to the people of Dover, Pa. They have incurred the wrath of Pat, which is not, praise the Lord, the same as incurring the wrath of an actual deity that could, in theory, behave in the manner decreed by the televangelist last week.
		There is a lawsuit in the courts challenging this challenge to evolution, but Dover voters thankfully didn't need to wait for a jury to decide they had been led astray.
		For now, that seems to be the choice of the Kansas board, which presumably is also waiting patiently for Dorothy to return from Oz.

	In Evolution Debate, a Counterattack - New York Times
		IN the 2005 culture war over evolution, the prime battlefields were Kansas, where the state school board voted to require that criticism of Darwin's theory be taught in biology classes, and Dover, Pa., where parents sued the school district for promoting the alternative theory known as intelligent design.
		Dover voters in November tossed out the conservative school board members who changed the curriculum, and a federal judge later ruled that their requirement that intelligent design be mentioned in class violated the Constitution.
		Kansas first plunged into the issue in 1999, when the state board stripped the curriculum standards of virtually any mention of evolution.

		The Dover trial testimony rather conclusively demolishes that claim, it seems to me, although of course supporters believe exactly the opposite is true.
