Mini victory for science


Yea, the creationists no longer have a state school board majority in Kansas. There's a chance that religious dogma can be removed from taking up space reserved for teaching science. Remember, this same extremist dogma mentality once preached that it was the work of the devil to receive a blood transfusion, organ transplant, administer pain relieve to women giving birth, or saying that the Earth was not the stationary center of the entire universe.

While this is a minor victory for liberalism over fundamentalist conservatism, it's a step in the right direction - that of knowledge and education. Long live scientific knowledge and advancement!

As reported on CNN. Background on the BBC.
