Science views may decide education race in Kansas
In Geary County Brad Angell and Bruce Wyatt vie for the Republican nomination to the 6th District seat on the State Board of Education. Their stances on science testing standards that de-emphasize evolution highlight a broader contest between conservative and moderate factions within the party. Wyatt’s background includes Boeing work near Wichita and a Salina law office, while Angell is a longtime educator and former Geary County superintendent. The race, amid four districts where August primaries loom, presages control of education policy with a mix of conservative and moderate candidates.
