Popular Science ranks teaching biology in Kansas as the third worst job in science, behind inspecting manure or being a human lab rat.
The conservative majority on the Kansas Board of Education seeks to change public school science standards to allow criticism of evolution.
In its current issue, Popular Science says the concept of intelligent design is the board's "anti-evolution tool of choice.''
One veteran science teacher from Olathe tells the magazine that he fears parents will keep children out of classes when evolution is being taught. He also believes Kansas students will get closer scrutiny from medical schools.
