How exactly does someone sneak into an elected position? I admire your attempt at spin, but the truth is that the so-called radicals had the support of a large group of Kansas residents.
It was only after a massive media backlash and nationwide embarassment for Kansas that moderates were able to get rid of the far right lunatics and restore sanity to the public school science standards.
Are you going to seriously claim that Ayatollah Brownback and the theocratic cronies currently in charge of the state wouldn't support the teaching of Christian based creationism in the public schools?
A number of years ago, no actual changes were made, no changes to how kids are taught science etc.
However, these non-changes made for political fodder for the partisans whom like to keep bringing it up hoping nobody actually stops to present facts.
I think it actually happened back when Sebelius was governor prior to joining Obama's cabinet...but that makes for a less "attractive" false narrative than mentioning the rwnj brownback or the Koch brothers blah blah blah.
Ironically, it's one of the Koch brothers that funded the big evolution special on PBS and is funding the big smithonian exhibit on evolution.

That's what I thought, especially after reading stories in the media about how Ks. legislators continue the backward evangelical trends.
Oh, yeah, whenever I watch PBS, I keep the gag and vomit bucket close by and wait for the Koch foundation credits.
Took the kids to a small-town museum in Kansas this past weekend, was rather disturbed to see this display, where the museum guide described it as "Obama getting his papers checked". I have never seen anything like this before, and it was a bit disconcerting. What do you think?
Is the display with the cavemen riding dinosaurs in the next room over?
