The Smirking Chimp: "Conservative groups are trying to convince state education officials to change guidelines for how evolution theory is taught in science classes at a time when Kansas education authorities are producing new science teaching guidelines.
The hearings -- organized by a committee of the Kansas Board of Education -- were taking place 80 years after the so-called 'Monkey Trial' of John Scopes, a Tennessee biology teacher who was found guilty of illegally teaching evolution.
There is renewed debate over evolution in more than a dozen U.S. states and a resurgence across the nation in the influence of religious conservatives, who played an important part in the reelection of Republican President Bush last year.
And let's make the world revovle around the flat earth once again!
Idiots!
