Students can have great ideas, and they need their freedom to pursue their own ideas.

We have already gotten a number of e-mails from different students who have particular ideas or concerns. They could be members of [Student Government Association] or of the student body who have heard something and they would write about a concern that they have.

People demand freedom of speech as compensation for the freedom of thought, which they seldom use.

We're not requiring anything to be done. What we're doing in Kansas is allowing freedom of ideas, that are scientifically based, to be discussed in science class.

They want statewide requirements so that all students can enter a four-year institution. Not all students are going to go to a four-year school.

The rectors and students have been patient and very respectful that this is a big project.
