    This is no doubt very significant.

    The September 27 Houston Chronicle published a report by the National
    Organization of Scientists in which they ranked each state by how "well"
    they did teaching evolution. Kansas was ranked last. Connecticut,
    California, Indiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Rhode Island
    received the "best" rank.

    Here are how those states match up on SAT scores:
    Kansas #5
    ----------
    Connecticut #32
    California #35
    New Jersey #39
    Indiana #42
    Rhode Island #44
    North Carolina #48

    In other words, the states which teach evolution the "best" are all in
    the bottom 40% on SAT scores, while Kansas is in the top 10%.
