Mr. Cleland, people who refused to believe that the earth is a globe
existed long after ole Columbus proved them wrong, and personally,
my opinion is that fundamentalists still belong to the Flat Earth Society.
Since I am a female and relegated to third class citizen (after men and
boy children) by fundamentalists, I am not as optimistic as you are about :

>I wouldn't worry about the effect this KBE action will
have on Kansas HS students.<

If your parents raisel you with their version of the "truth", and your
church
continues their version of the "truth", and your SCHOOL BOARD makes it
unanimous with their version of the "truth", how many "good" children are
going to believe otherwise ??? Adults get brainwashed - how can children
hold out ?
