Hei,
could Ryan or someone just update a Norwegian who doesn't
know much about the american school system.
Does the decision imply that
-noone can teach evolution in ANY elementary school and high school in
Kansas anymore ?
-that evolution will be removed from the curriculum of every class (where
evolution
has been taught before) in those schools ?

Does this also imply that a modest teaching like "evolution is a theory
that some/many
scientists think fits the data well and may be a good explanation for how
living things evolved"
will not be allowed anymore in for example biology/science classes in any
of the
elementary and high schools in Kansas?

regards
Inge
