Hmm...as for charter schools, who are independent and private and therefore in most cases you have to pay to go there at least a little bit other than standard residential taxes which cover public schools, what's wrong with them teaching whatever they want to teach? As long as it stays in private schools, who cares if they think that the world was created in 6 days? Who cares what they teach? Its not like the students who are learning it have no choice if they want a biology grade. My main peeve is forcing religious ideas into a normally mandatory public school course: biology/life science. How about it, folks? Yay or Nay?
And as for you, roxrkool, I'd have to say that it'll be a roll of the dice as to who gets elected in the next Kansas Board o' Ed elections. To stabilize the board and prevent further change, all that is needed is for one board member to lose their seat to a moderate. To reverese the changes, 2 need to go. Will that happen? I hope so. I really do. But it looks like we may have to settle for a complete division. Oh well, it looks like that's better than nothing, although when you have a division things can switch either way in the next few elections. The people of Kansas have chosen that they want to make their state the laughing stock of every educated person in the country. Now that the board members have completed and fufilled their election promises, who says that they'll be thrown out? I don't know about my state's future, and I don't know anyone who could.
