Kansas in the land of Oz

Ben Tanosborn
Despite Dorothy's intuition telling her that she wasn't in Kansas anymore; the truth, whether in Technicolor or not, is that she had not left Kansas at all. Oz and Kansas were, and continue to be, only separated by a dream … or a tornado's aftermath. At least that's what the Kansas State Board of Education seems to be telling all of us.
Click your magical red shoes, little Dorothy, and you will travel back and forth … from Oz to Kansas, and back to Oz. Simply click those heels and give Kansans the choice: the reality that is Kansas or the vision that is Oz. It's a matter of choice, with evolution and creationism just a click away.
Creationism, re-baptized as "Intelligent Design" (ID), has been now sprayed with a mist of science. Creationists have now evolved themselves, not through time and natural selection, but as an answer to a force majeure: the 1987 ruling by the US Supreme Court which de jure forbade states from requiring equal treatment of evolution and creationism in science textbooks. By late 1999, the Creation Science Association for Mid-America (CSA) had mutated to another theistic species ready to pose academically as a more credible alternative to the theory of evolution. A faith-based alternative.
