Kansas wishes to change the definition of science to allow it include discussions of intelligent design in science class.
I'm all for people having their own beliefs, and I'm definitely fine with them passing their values on to their children. As a taxpayer (grudgingly) I don't believe that a discussion of "intelligent design" belongs in publically funded classrooms.
Now, if you want to remove your child from the public school system and home school them and include intelligent design, fine. Send them to a private Christian academy that teaches intelligent design, okay. Hell, I don't care if you just pull your kids out of school and don't teach them at all. That's your call as a parent. Where I get prickly is where you wish to take a personal matter like your faith, and force it on my children.
