"We're becoming a laughing stock - not only of the nation but of the entire world", laments Janet Waugh, a member of Kansas's Board of Education. Thanks to a controversial new ruling, science teachers in Kansas are now expected to teach intelligent design alongside evolution. It's a decision that has seen science teachers like Lisa Volland leave the State system rather than teach it. "I don't think any biology teacher should be saying that intelligent design is a valid theory within science, because it's not", she reasons. Since 2001, at least 43 states have seen challenges to the teaching of evolution in public schools. Supporters argue that intelligent design is based in science and has nothing to do with creationism. But it's an argument most scientists reject. "It's all a camouflage. It's a euphemism about God", states Prof. Leonard Krishtalka. But the intelligent design lobby has gained new momentum from the Kansas ruling. Now, it's pushing for intelligent design to be taught in all public schools.
