Minck to the Kansas Board of Education </title> <item_id> 208240 </item_id> <description> John L. Minck of Palo Alto, California, writes the Kansas Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, concerning the Board&#039;s decision to remove the teaching of evolution from the state&#039;s science curriculum. Minck claims that a narrow-minded, conservative Christian worldview typifies the mindset of most Kansans. He argues that this mindset will undermine the intellectual development of Kansas children and impede their professional development as adults. Minck sent a copy of his letter to Governor Bill Graves. The April 1999 decision of the Kansas Board of Education reflects a broader movement by advocates of &quot;intelligent design&quot; to alter standards for science curriculum in public schools. This issue is also part of a broader national debate on the role of religion in public schools. The entire file of correspondence on the evolution debate from Governor Graves&#039; office is available on Kansas Memory as unit 221202. <img src='https://img.kansasmemory.org/thumb500/00206408.jpg' /> </description> <link> http://www.kansasmemory.org/item/208240 </link> </item> <item> <title> Governor William &quot;Bill&quot; Preston Graves </title> <item_id> 211106 </item_id> <description> A portrait of William &quot;Bill&quot; Preston Graves who was first served in public office as Secretary of State of Kansas from 1987 to 1995. In 1994, he was elected the forty third Governor of Kansas and became one of the youngest Governors in Kansas history at the age of forty-one. Graves easily won re-election in 1998 by one of the largest margins of victory in a Kansas gubernatorial race. During his tenure, the largest tax cut in state history was passed into law and many state services were streamlined or privatized. <img src='https://img.kansasmemory.org/thumb500/00076902.jpg' /> </description> <link> http://www.kansasmemory.org/item/211106 </link> </item> <item> <title> William &quot;Bill&quot; Preston Graves, Kansas Governor </title> <item_id> 213684 </item_id> <description> Three photographs showing Governor William &quot;Bill&quot; Preston Graves signing SB 424 at the Topeka YWCA day-care center.
