From today's news: CBS/AP) The Kansas Board of Education voted 6-4 to 
include greater criticism of evolution in its school science standards, 
but it decided to send the standards to an outside academic for review 
before taking a final vote.

I think the part where a school board member argues that because public 
funds are used in public schools, this debate has a place in the school 
system is especially troubling for publicly funded science museums.
