It's not all about evolution...

[dvandom]

The Kansas State school board is wrestling with another issue too. Sex ed. Currently, students take sex ed unless their parents specifically ask for them to opt out. There's a movement to switch to a system where no one takes it unless their parents specifically opt them in. The board voted 5-5 on the issue today, whee. I expect that the fallout from their next move on evolution is likely to change the board's composition enough to result in a decisive vote on sex ed next time they take it up, one way or another.

All in all, I'm glad I'm not raising a kid in this state. :/
