Kansas teachers aren't anti-evolution

[damntexdem]

"A new survey shows Kansas secondary biology teachers have the lowest rates of creationist belief of teachers in any of the states surveyed. The survey results — presented at a September conference of the Kansas Association of Biology Teachers and due to be published in an upcoming Kansas Biology Teacher journal — verify that the general press image of Kansas being backward on evolution is completely opposite of the facts.

"The percentage of biology teachers from different states who thought that creation has a valid scientific foundation were: Kentucky teachers, 69 percent; Oklahoma, 48 percent; South Dakota, 39 percent; Ohio, 38 percent; Illinois, 30 percent; Georgia, 30 percent; Louisiana, 29 percent; and Kansas, 24 percent."

Still, 24 percent is still too high. When we lived in Kansas, my son was taught H.S. biology by a Creo teacher -- he told me later, because he knew I would make a fuss if I found out while he was still taking the class.

But the constant warfare over the teaching of evolution since 1999 may have had a beneficial effect on KS science teachers -- or on those who hire them.

1. North Korea had the least number of civil rights violations...

in all the crazy totalitarian rogue dictatorships surveyed.

In all the states surveyed? Oklahoma? Louisiana? Georgia?

Well whoopedy shit.

24% is still pretty fucking bad.

That said, it's not the teachers but the school boards. And the people who appoint the school boards.

2. Kentucky beats Oklahoma 68 to 48!

Welcome and prepare to believe!

The state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings.

Dinosuar Den



Biblical history is the key to understanding dinosaurs. Explore many of these amazing creatures along with fossilized dinosaur eggs, a triceratops skeleton casting, and much more!

Noah's Ark Construction Site



See the scaffolding, smell the freshly-cut timbers in the busy work site of Noah’s Ark. Delve into the belly of the Ark and imagine the stalls full of animals, in close quarters. Listen to the sounds of thunderous, driving rains and the pounding of water against the sides of the great Ark.
