John Calvert, the attorney representing the Kansas families in the lawsuit, argues that since science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God, the Next Generation standards should not present atheistic evolution as the only way human beings came into existence. “The standards lead the child to believe that evidence for a creator is an illusion,” Calvert says. Regardless of the outcome of the Kansas families’ lawsuit, it has already accomplished one purpose: Conservatives and traditionalists across the nation are now aware of Next Generation’s contents. That will make it far more difficult for state K-12 leaders to quietly adopt the science standards without public knowledge and input, like they did with Common Core.
