Hearings of Kansas State Board

From the article: TOPEKA, Kan. -

Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial, State Board of Education members plan to hear arguments over whether they should add criticism of evolution to Kansas' science standards.
The board's subcommittee on science standards agreed Monday to have six days of hearings in May in Topeka. The subcommittee, concerned that the hearings might be compared to the 1925 trial of high school science teacher John Scopes in Dayton, Tenn., said they aren't putting evolution on trial. Scopes was convicted of giving lessons on the theory.
