The article further states:
 
Perhaps the most significant shift would be in the very definition of science - instead of "seeking natural explanations for what we observe around us," the new standards would describe it as a "continuing investigation that uses observation, hypothesis testing, measurement, experimentation, logical argument and theory building to lead to more adequate explanations of natural phenomena."
 
While I don't agree with the new trial, isn't that what science is?

What is there about Kansas that inhibits their thinking processes?

Six years after Kansas ignited a national debate over the teaching of
evolution, the state is poised to push through new science standards this summer requiring that Darwin's theory be challenged in the classroom.
