Well, this school board decided to extend the definition of science to include explanations other than natural causes for physical phenomena. They seem to have found enough time in their many responsibilities to squeeze this little gem in...
What you appear to be saying is that the Kansas School Board can advocate whatever curricula they want as long as they can get a majority of the voters to elect them. I'm grateful my son won't be learning science under their 'leadership'.

And I'm not hysterical, just amused.

”What you appear to be saying is that the Kansas School Board can advocate whatever curricula they want as long as they can get a majority of the voters to elect them. I'm grateful my son won't be learning science under their 'leadership'.”

I guess that is what I appear to be saying, if the extent of your imagination gets you no further than to deny the principle of government by the consent of the governed for the sake of your own private interest, as do so many others. I know you’ll plead how important is your particular private interest, as so many others do plead, and that your interest is actually vital to the welfare of everyone, as do plead so many others about an array of interests peculiar to their own.

But, if it seems the only way to resolve what you believe to be a critically important interest in the teaching of science is to violate a critically important fundamental principle of representative government, then that sort of circumstance ought to impress you with the serious need for a reappraisal of our understanding of the relationship between government and education.

”And I'm not hysterical, just amused.”

If you find yourself amused, then the problem must not be so serious as you advertise. Or, you are expressing the condescending amusement of an elitist, sneering at his obvious inferiors.
