Only in Kansas
Only in Kansas will you have this awesome trifecta:
1.) An Attorney General (Phil Kline) who seems to have outlawing abortion as his #1 priority- notice I didn't say the welfare of children was his first priority
2.) A bible thumpin school board that, with their many seconds of expertise, has taken it among themselves to review scientific theories considered valid by the scientific community (like evolution, like these bible beaters are a good judge of that, as if intelligent design is a sound theory with no actual basis in fact)
3.) The brilliant idea to have school kids have to opt in (the decision would be their parents) rather than opt out of sex education at school.
Let me get this straight, we have a District Attorney who supposedly is concerned about the welfare of kids (supposedly explaining his ban abortion at all costs or at least restrict it in every way possible) but at the same time we want to limit sex education? Think just a few parents in the heart of bible country here will not opt in for sex ed for their kids with the tried and not true tradition of "if you don't talk about sex the kids won't think about it"? Yeah, maybe a few thousand or tens of thousands.
See the idiocy there? We want to prevent abortion but instead of improving sex education (the only real way to reduce teen pregnancy) we want to reduce it and water it down?
This is what I refer to as PFD
That means pretty f**kin dumb.
Seriously, someone is just not thinking there. Yeah, lets look out for the welfare of kids by having more unplanned pregnancies instead of fewer.

The Kansas state school board seems bound and determined to make their state the national laughing stock. Mississippi might want to make room for some company at the bottom of the US education ladder.
The attorney general might not be totally wasting his time -- there is a notorious late-term abortion clinic in Wichita where several women have died over the years. I think that's where Operation Rescue used to have their big protests.
