Voter Revolt
We're not really sure where David Oliphant, a Republican running for Kansas Board of Education in District 3, stands on the issues -- he wasn't endorsed by MAINPAC which is supporting moderate candidates who support strong science education -- but one salient fact hasn't escaped his notice:
The Kansas City Star reports that with "a month still to go before the August primary, candidates say they’re surprised at the public’s awareness of the races and their issues. First among those issues is evolution."
“When I tell someone I’m running for state board, it’s inevitably question No. 1 or 2,” said Oliphant. “People are paying attention. I think it’s going to be a voter revolt.”
