A Clear Choice for District 6

Do you care about the quality of public school science education?

Do you live in one of the following parts of Kansas?

The Counties of Atchison, Brown, Clay, Cloud, Doniphan, Geary, Jackson, Marshall, Nemaha, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Saline, and Washington, Dickinson County. Cities of Abilene and Solomon, and the townships of Grant and Lincoln, Jewell County cities of Formoso, Jewell, Mankato, Randall, and Webber, and the townships of Allen, Browns Creek, Buffalo, Calvin, Center, Grant, Harrison, Holmwood, Jackson, Montana, Prairie, Richland, Sinclair, Vicksburg, and Washington.

If you answered yes to both of the above questions, then you have a clear choice for Kansas State Board of Education on Nov. 4th.

Option #1: Kathy Martin

"The truth is that Darwin's theory is far from proven and that continuing to teach it as fact without offering competing theories for Kansas students to consider is doing them a disservice. Scientific discoveries made over the last decades, such as the DNA code in every living cell, have proven Darwin's theory of macroevolution not to be a plausible theory. However, Kathy does believe that microevolution is possible, that is the adaptation of a creature such as a fish living in the deep and losing its eyesight because it has no need for eyes. Kathy does not believe that evolution should be taken out of the science curriculum. On the contrary, she believes we should be spending more time on a critical analysis of Darwin's theory in the science classroom. We should be taking a critical look at the evidence for all theories of origin, including both evolution and intelligent design."

Option #2: Christopher Renner

"I support the current science standards, especially in regard to the teaching of mainstream evolutionary science-a scientific theory that is well-accepted in the scientific community and which impacts our daily lives in numerous ways. I do not find Intelligent Design, nor young-earth creationism, to be scientifically credible."

For anyone who truly understands REAL science, the choice could not be more obvious.

If you think Kansas science teachers should devote precious class time to take a "critical look" at "theories of origin" that have zero scientific credibility, then vote for Kathy Martin.

If you think Kansas science teachers should devote precious class time to helping students learn the consensus understandings of the scientific community, then vote for Christopher Renner.

By the way, Renner recently received the endorsement of two newspapers within District 6, The Salina Journal and The Marysville Advocate.

We could not agree more.
