"SURVIVOR: CREATIONISTS ARE VOTED OFF THE ISLAND.
It was just one year ago that the state school board in Kansas removed human evolution and any mention of the big bang from the state science standards (WN 13 Aug 99). In Tuesday's Republican Primary, which is almost the same as election in Kansas, three of the four creationist board members running for reelection fell victim to natural selection. The largest margin of defeat was reserved for Linda Holloway, the board chair, who had raised $100K for a race that would normally have cost a few hundred dollars. Tuesday's vote virtually assures that last year's action will be reversed." (tiré de What's New, Bob Park, http://www.aps.org/WN/ )

Cela n'assure rien, mais augmente les chances que l'évolution soit re-effectivement-rendue obligatoire dans le cursus scholaire au Kansas. Comme quoi, tout peut arriver. Espérons que cela fasse effet boule de neige sur les autres états atteint par la créationnite aiguë.
