Summary

A subcommittee of the Kansas Board of Education holds hearings on whether the state's science curriculum should permit alternate theories to be taught alongside evolution. During the first three days of hearings, proponents of intelligent design present their views. They are represented by a retired lawyer, John Calvert, who heads the Intelligent Design Network of Shawnee Mission, Kansas. The witnesses are questioned by the members of the subcommittee and by attorney Pedro Irigonegaray, who supports the teaching of evolution.

I demand we consider big fluffy unicorns

An interesting look behind the scenes. People say, why should we only teach one theory when we could teach two! I say why stop there? I wholey believe the universe was created by a big fluffy unicorn, and because you can't disprove it I demand my theory be taught alongside evolution too, so students can fully understand big fluffy unicorn and make up their own minds. I haven't read the standards I'm giving expert testimony on, but as the panel pointed out I shouldn't feel bad about that, and of course I will be testing students on their understanding of my supplemental class in a graded school testing setting, to check they fully understand why big fluffy unicorn is so much better than what they've been taught before in their main classes. Thankyou for your open mind.
