The Kansas Board of Education is at times in the hands of a conservative (read: religious) majority. During such times, evolution comes up for debate.

Having recently ambled through the Natural History Museums in New York and Washington, D.C. (and since then Vienna as well), I find this hard to believe. In museums, evolution is a an undisputed process, responsible for the ever changing cabaret of life through the ages. Only art museums contain alternatives to evolution, being archives of fantasy as well as fact and history.

But perhaps they’ve no museums in Kansas.
