Abstract
This is a response to the News and Views article, "Lessons from the Kansas Decision" by Robert Newman (PSCF 52, no. 2 [June 2000]: 83-4). Despite the claim of Newman's article, the situation in Kansas is not the result of a conflict between naturalistic and theistic world views. Rather it is the consequence of the effort of a few to conform public education to their particular narrow religious and political views.
