Kansas (a US state right in the middle of the country) is appalled to see it’s supremacy as a Bible-Belt state being challenged by that upstart, Kentucky – Ken Ham and Kim Davis. (Even though they are both modern saints.) Kansas still takes pride in the fact that for over a year, from Nov. 2005 until Feb. 2007, the Intelligent Design Network won against the evil Evolutionists and Scientists, and Intelligent Design was taught in public schools.
On November 8, 2005 the Kansas Board of Education approved the following changes to its science standards:
1. Allow intelligent design to be presented as an alternative explanation to evolution as presented in mainstream biology textbooks, without endorsing it.
2. State that evolution is a theory and not a fact.
3. Require informing students of purported scientific controversies regarding evolution.
On February 13, 2007, the Board voted 6 to 4 to reject the amended science standards enacted in 2005. The definition of science was once again returned to "the search for natural explanations for what is observed in the universe."
There is an atheist link to these hearings as well: The "Flying Spaghetti Monster" was first described in a satirical open letter written by Bobby Henderson in 2005 to protest the KS Board of Education’s decision to teach Intelligent Design as an alternative to Evolution.

The recent decision by the Kansas Board of Education to ban the teaching of evolution and anything else that disagrees with creationist views has left many people wondering: What will they teach in science classes?
It’s also left a few people wondering: Was this group the Board of Education or the Bored of Education?
Well, we’ve obtained an authentic copy of a science test to be given to ninth graders in Kansas. As you can see from the following test, they do mention evolution and natural selection. Answers are given at the end.
