That's pretty surprising. It sounds even more extreme than the creation science people who want their theories to be taught alongside evolution. The Kansas school board is saying that evolution can't be taught at all in the context of the formation of new species.

My guess is that they will be forced to reverse their decision. It sounds like the groundswell of opposition is just beginning. The board took this step without much public visibility. Now they will find out what the public really believes.
