    DARWINIAN CONCEPTS RETURNING TO KANSAS CLASSROOMS
    from The Associated Press

    TOPEKA, Kan. - A newly elected Kansas Board of Education took a step
    Tuesday toward restoring evolution to state science curricula, more than a
    year after causing an uproar about the teaching of biology and faith.
    After more than two hours of debate, the board decided it would give final
    approval to the new standards at its Feb. 13-14 meeting. No vote was
    taken, but enough members signaled their support for the revised standards
    to guarantee their adoption next month. The new science standards would
    replace ones adopted in August 1999 that omitted references to many
    evolutionary concepts.
