Alaska Restores the E-word
While Kansas, and some other states, are moving to weaken science education, our friends in the frozen tundra of Alaska apparently have moved to strengthen it there.

The newly restored standards still need to be reviewed by the law department and signed by Lt. Gov. Loren Leman.
