Nebraska is in the sights of ID advocates. See <a href="http://www.antievolution.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=3ceb0c964424ffff;act=ST;f=2;t=7" target="_blank">this</a> for story and links.

Grassroots creationists in action, advocating lobbying of local school board representatives, complete with shitloads of links to Discovery Institute materials.

I e-mailed a few pointed questions to the site's proprietor.

Well, living in Nebraska most of my life I can honestly say none of this surprises me. I'm just glad my husband and I taught our children the truth before these loonys could try to indoctrinate them with their fantasies.

Well I am two states down from you and I am surprised. Surprised that we not had much since the Attorney General struck down the Textbook Committee's plaigerism of the Alabama disclaimer. But it is only a matter of time...

I've lived in Nebraska all my life too. I find this to be quite disturbing...

I'm only one state over and it's only a matter of time before those IDiots start creeping over the border. Parts of rural Minnesota are extreme fundy-land so they're likely to get a good reception.

Well, they call it the "heartland" of America for a reason, they've got no brains.

Its mainly just the rural people and the rich/upper middle class that are the pious church goers -- they're the ones with "no brains."
