I don't believe this for a moment. When making admission decisions, medical schools look at MCAT scores, college courses, college GPA, and so on; they generally do not consider high school work.
Besides, what does a evolution have to do with one's suitability to practice medicine?

Same thing a rejection of the "astrology" and "humours" theories of disease do. A doctor who rejects science.... not a good doctor.
I agree. What sort of science teacher relies on anecodotal evidence?
Not to mention that at least one of these fundamentalists under attack has a doctorate in the sciences himself.
Nor do I believe all of the rest of the pap in the article. I've watched journalist after journalist go to only one side of the debate and write that Kansas wants to do something that is absolutely not the case. The approach is reasonable: open the classroom to the possibilities to teaching that some problems exist with the theory of evolution. Any honest scientist would admit as much.
Tell that to Baby Fae
Next time you go to a physician make sure you pick one who disavows evolution.
