Over one year after the Kansas Board of Education (KBoE) rejected and replaced the 2005 Kansas Science Standards, the Discovery Institute (DI) has finally ended its "Stand Up for Science, Stand Up for Kansas" campaign.
In the summer of 2006, DI Senior Fellow John West and Director of Communications Robert Crowther both denied that their campaign had anything to do with the upcoming KBoE elections.
Despite the DI's claims, once the August 2006 primaries changed the composition of the KBoE...tumbleweeds.
However, like a ghost town, the website was apparently haunted. New links were periodically added to the "UPDATES" sidebar, even though the main content of the website did not change to reflect the new state of affairs in Kansas.
The tombstone for "standupforscience.com" reads:
This Site Has Been Replaced
Unfortunately, it does not admit:
These Standards Have Been Replaced
