Another article about the ouster of the Kansas Creationists:

In a state where the fierce fight over how much students should learn about criticism of evolution has gone back and forth since 1999, the election results were seen as a significant defeat for the growing movement of intelligent design, which holds that nature by itself cannot account for life's complexity.

Defenders of evolution pointed to the results in Kansas as a third major recent defeat for the intelligent design movement across the country and as a sign, perhaps, that the public was beginning to pay attention to the movement's flaws.

"I think more citizens are learning what intelligent design really is and realizing that they don't really want that taught in their public schools," said Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education.

Guess it's time to start humiliating South Carolina and Ohio, now that Kansas has returned to rational educational policies...

This battle against disenlightenment won't die down any time soon, so stay vigilant in your state and community.
