Creationism bill in Kansas stalls amid debate
Senator Salmans said the bill, modeled on similar measures in Ohio and 17 other states, is likely dead and frames the issue as academic freedom rather than creationism. Pro science leaders warn conservatives will persist, while some conservatives favor teaching creation science and de-emphasizing evolution. Senate Bill 168 would require presenting evidence on life's origins without bias and bar punitive actions against teachers who stray from the curriculum. Umbarger places the debate with the State Board of Education rather than the Senate.
