Kansas Vote May Not Come Until August
According to a report in the Kansas City Star by Dianne Carrol, it could be August before the Kansas Board of Education makes a final decision on how evolution should be taught.
Board "Chairman Steve Abrams said he expected the board to hear a report in June from the subcommittee holding hearings now on a minority proposal to teach evolution from a more critical point of view. If any vote is taken next month, he said, it might be on a draft of the standards. But a final vote isn't likely until July or August."
Abrams also told the Star that the board is likely to seek a reivew of the minority draft -- the one it favors -- by out-of-state experts before voting.
