The National Association of State Boards of Education will elect officers in July, and for one office, president-elect, there is only one candidate: a member of the Kansas school board who supported its efforts against the teaching of evolution.
…
The candidate is Kenneth R. Willard, a Kansas Republican who voted with the conservative majority in 2005 when the school board changed the state’s science standards to allow inclusion of intelligent design, an ideological cousin of creationism.
Read it in the NY Times here.
It’s unclear what this will mean for Pastafarians. My guess is that it will help our cause if Mr. Willard is elected.
Oh – but that can’t be good, surely?
Or am I not seeing the Bigger picture?
Oh, and probably something about FIRST POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry.
Vae!
Well, I guess this is a good thing.
This is AWESOME!!!
When people realize just how stupid it is to teach ID in the school system, BILLIONS will flock to our cause!!!
I like to overexaggerate, but yes, it’s a good thing. Except for those poor children in Kansas.

Haven’t read it yet, but anything that puts our cause back in peoples faces is a good thing. (:))

@Nikkiee
RAmen to that!
Bobby should make some bold and controversial statement to get people thinking, that would help even more.

This is NOT good. I mean really, really not good. We should flood the state with voters and get a no confidance vote for the win. Or would that be a gainst the law?
