Science groups ban use of material by board
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Three national science groups announced yesterday that they would not give the Kansas Board of Education permission to use copyrighted materials in new testing standards that deemphasize evolution.
The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science said the board's standards did not embrace the vision and content of documents published by their organizations.
The board borrowed individual passages from copyrighted material for its new standards, which will be used to develop statewide tests for students to be administered first in spring 2001.
The groups' actions may be more symbolic than substantive. The board plans to consider changes in
the standards at its next meeting. Oct. 11-12 in DeSoto. However, the board's attorney has suggested only relatively minor rewriting may be necessary to avoid copyright problems.
The board issued its own statement about the denial of permission to use the groups' copyrighted material. Chairwoman Linda Holloway said she was disappointed and that the groups were misinterpreting the standards.
Gerry Wheeler, executive director of the teachers' group, said the organizations concluded that the board's standards distorted the borrowed passages from the copyrighted materials.
"It has to do with good science vs. bad science," Wheeler said. "It has nothing to do with local control vs. non-local control."
The new standards do not omit all references to evolution, as the groups acknowledged.
Clinton vetoes tax cut, despite GOP opposition
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—After weeks of partisan jockeying about taxes, President Clinton vetoed the $792 billion tax cut pushed by Republicans yesterday and called on Congress to approve tax relief Americans could afford by year's end.
But GOP leaders said later it was highly unlikely a compromise on broad tax cuts could be reached this year.
The president vetoed the bill at a wooden desk on a stage in the White House Rose Garden, before a small audience of Cabinet members, advocates for the elderly and others. It was the 28th veto of his presidency.
Clinton said he rejected the tax bill because it would turn the United States back to the failed policies of the past at a
time when the nation was enjoying economic prosperity. He said he would seek to work with GOP leaders on an alternative tax plan that reflected the priorities of both parties and the values of the American people.
In a letter accompanying the signed veto, Clinton told Congress he refused to sign because it ignored the principles that have led to the sound economy the United States enjoys and emphasized tax reduction for those who need it the least.
But on Capitol Hill, the battle lines were clearly drawn. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III., said lawmakers were open to compromise. However, he said they would not work with the president to raise taxes, raid the Social Security trust fund or pile on more debt on the United States.
