Kansas - still screwed even when some think they're doing the right thing...

Pharyngula: Rude and foolish Kansans:

I'm afraid that a state that tolerates only good Baptist biologists is just as much a sinkhole of stupidity as one that tolerates only good Baptist anti-biologists.

Isn't it funny that's not been picked up in my hometown newspaper - well not that I've seen anyway.

oh, its FAR worse than that. its permission slips for the general sex ed class, but they're still also looking (very favorably) to a mandatory 6-9 week "abstinence only" class (that, of course, would not require the permission slips).
