Flying Spaghetti Monster Under Attack In Kansas

Seems that the flying spaghetti monster came under attack in Kansas on a recent tour of a middle school by state board members.

A science teacher dared to the hang a picture of His Noodliness and a Doonsebury cartoon (I can only assume it’s this one) and this offended a couple of state board members who voted science out of Kansas.

When Connie Morris, a vigorous supporter of rewriting science in Kansas, asked the principle to remove the sign, another board member, Sue Gamble, took the approach of smaller government.

“I advised the principal that Morris has no authority,” she said. “I told him to deal with his staff as he saw fit, not by what a state board member says.”

It seems that in Kansas some don’t just want to rewrite science, they want their science teachers to like it too.

And yes, today I just happen to be wearing my FSM shirt.
