TOPEKA – Christian parents in the state of Kansas
have filed a lawsuit challenging newly-adopted educational standards
that would mandate children as young as five to be taught about
evolution and global warming as if scientific fact.
In June of this year, the Kansas Board of Education joined 25 other states and the National Research Council to adopt new science standards for kindergarten through 12th grade. But the accepted guidelines have been opposed by the Citizens for Objective Public Education, along with a number of Christian parents in the state, “who seek to instill in their children a belief that life is a creation made for a purpose, that does not end on death and is not simply a purposeless occurrence that is the product of an unguided evolutionary process.”
In filing a lawsuit to stop the standards from going into effect, the 15 parents representing a total of 18 children assert that the origin of life is an inherently religious topic, and that the new guidelines essentially promote the religion of atheism and materialism.
