I wonder if Kansas may be a lost cause?
Mostly pretty rural and hard to get the word out about what's really going on.
If they keep electing school board members who insist on spending their education dollars in the courtroom instead of the classroom the entire education system in Kansas is a lost cause. Science class is not the only part of the curriculum that is at stake. Everybody loses (except for the lawyers) if the creationist/ID/alien/whatever agenda forces the school system to hemorrhage cash in seemingly endless legal battles.
Kansas will be hearing from major universities regarding the value of their high school diplomas.
Nebraska's more rural than Kansas, and we've been able to fend this sort of thing off. Partly the problem was the passivity of the scientists in Kansas, who let this thing develop into a monster before really getting mobilized against it. And partly it's the much higher proportion of Southern Baptists, who seem to be the most virulenty creationist of all the denominations.
Too flat. Bizarrely flat. Has to do something to stunt the cognitive development.
Yeah - sounds like it is unfriendly territory for the cultural Marxists.
