I think the conservatives will be ousted again this year resulting in the standards changing ...

It's bothersome to have them wrap themselves with that fine word. I'd prefer to call the creationist school board members what they truly are -- theocrats running as conservatives.

I guess I should call them social conservatives or the religious-based conservatives on the board since KS has the weird way of calling anybody not calling themselves "moderate" a conservative without any sort of division on what that means.

Unfortunately, the press do simply refer to them as conservatives.

I've started using "anti-evolution activists". It covers both ID and creationism, and it correctly classifies them as political activists rather than scientists.

Well, Coulter and others seem intent on linking Conservatism with being Anti-Science; they seem to be succeeding in the scientific community.
