Radically conservative Christians are attempting to shove a "Wedge" down the collective throats of Kansans, but some of us are not opening up and saying "Ahhhh". As a parent of a sixth grader at a Kansas public school, I assert that the six conservative members of the Kansas State School Board are abysmal failures at ensuring the intellectual growth of our children and have grossly violated a sacred parental right.
In opening the door to introducing "Intelligent Design" into Kansas classrooms, the Kansas Board has advanced the "Wedge Strategy" of the Discovery Institute, which originated "Intelligent Design". "Intelligent Design" is a "theory" which rests solely on the observation that the complexity of the world "proves" the existence of a Creator.
Per Discovery's own internal document called The Wedge Strategy:
Design theory promises to reverse the stifling dominance of the materialist worldview, and to replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions.
Based on the Wedge Document (which can be found by Googling), it does not take much analysis to discern Discovery's agenda. And just think. The Bush administration and the mainstream media would have us believe that the Islamic world has a monopoly on religious fanaticism!
