Detrich** sees a lot of ills as stemming from the teaching of evolution, including sexual activity among youths.

"When you teach children that they are apes, they will reproduce like apes," he wrote in a questionnaire. "Stop teaching evolution, and the sex ed issue will take care of itself."

Evolution hot campaign topic

Ask Republican candidates for the Kansas State Board of Education about the issues they think are most important and you will hear about the teacher shortage or engaging students with vocational education.

On the campaign trail, however, many voters are using evolution as their litmus test.

"Everybody wants to talk about evolution and creationism," said Bill Pannbacker, a candidate for the District 6 seat.

Off and on, evolution, creationism and now intelligent design have consumed the state school board for about a decade. The yo-yo control of the board — from the hands of conservative Republicans to moderate or liberal Republicans and Democrats — has kept the issue alive.

What's The Matter With Kansas redux


**In the District 4 seat, Alan Detrich, 60, of Lawrence, argues there is no evidence to support the theory of evolution. He creates religious art out of dinosaur fossils (Detrich lists as occupation as "fossil hunter") and in 2006 described to The Associated Press how using the fossils in his art is a good way to prompt talks about evolution.

1. Childish people always try to displace their own RESPONSIBILITY.

If your kids are having social sex, maybe, just maybe, you NEED to look at your parenting. Maybe you need to look at the model that YOU are living.

You know, the single most unacceptable thing about Republicans, or "Conservatives", or Fundamental, Bible Believing Christians - in spite of everything else that I disagree with them about - the ONLY thing that I REALLY can't accept is how fucking CONFUSED and HYPOCRITICAL they are about EVERYTHING they are judging others by: RESPONSIBILITY used to be their by-word. Apparently RESPONSIBILITY is something that ONLY APPLIES TO OTHERS.

2. That must be why no one ever had sex before Charles Darwin wrote his book.
