It's starting to look like some sort of pathological whack-a-mole pattern is developing in school board elections, in Kansas and elsewhere. Here's the cycle:
1) Right-leaning school board rewrites science standards to crack the door open for creationism.
2) Voters wake up, vote the bums out.
3) New school board reverses the decision.
4) Voters go back to sleep.
5) Right-leaning candidates get elected to school board on Family Values issues, but claim they're not out to gut the science standards.
6) GOTO 1
