And this quote - "This is really a sad day for Kansas school children as they will now be lied to as part of the State's official policy." from http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/12621
Thank goodness for some people in PA - they actually get it.

Edit - The summary of this story is that all the School board members who voted in ID, were voted out of the school board.

And an update on the actual case:

Notice the ID proponents still slip up and call it creationism. Also, they have to amend the definition of science to include the supernatural. Someone else pointed out to me, their definition also includes astrology as science. Yeah, yeah, that was on my college science course list - Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astrology, and Supernatural studies. Yeah. Give me a fucking break.
You want to teach ID? Go ahead. Teach it in a comparative religion class. I'll let you do that. I want you to do that. As long as you teach about Gluscabi, the Dust Dude too (Native American creationistmythscience). And the Greek stories, and the Egyptian, and others. I want this class to cover lots of religions, and lots of creation stories. Now that would be a fun class (I had a class like that, or at least one that covered that topic in college - thanks EBC!).
Like I said, teach comparative religions. Show why people believed in Greek/Roman gods and goddesses. Show the Egyptian gods and goddesses. Talk about how these religions are similar and different from Judeo-Christianity. Talk about common creation stories, common Hero stories. Talk about how many religions borrowed from each-other and usurped certain holidays. Could be fun, and hey, the kids might learn something about history.
