Board Increasingly Isolated
As the creationist majority on Kansas State Board of Education pushes ahead with its plan to hold an evolution show trial in May, it is finding itself increasingly isolated from professional scientists and educators. The Kansas Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have declined to participate in the hearings.
Now it's being reported that efforts to schedule a joint meeting between the Kansas Board of Regents and the State Board of Education have been unsuccessful, according to Andy Tompkins, Commissioner of Education, and Steve Abrams, chairman of the State Board.
