Greetings from a Blue State

If science is now to be challenged in Kansas, shouldn't the following then be challenged in public schools, per their governmental line of thinking? ....
Top 10 Facts Now Open to Debate in Kansas Public Schools (with apologies to Letterman)
10 - The prime number system
9  - Einstein's theory of relativity
8  - The earth is round
7  - 2 plus 2 = 4
6  - There was an ice age, and dinosaurs roamed the earth
5  - Water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen
4  - The Republicans have an undisputable mandate
3  - Jesus is the true savior of all people on earth, whether they know it or not
2  - The Republican, religious right, as Jesus directed, is kind and understanding to their fellow neighbor, be they black, white, gay, Jewish, Muslim, CEO, employee, Democrat or even moderate Republican
AND, IF ALL SCIENTIFIC FACT IN KANSAS IS NOW OPEN TO DEBATE, SHOULDN'T THE NUMBER ONE DEBATE IN THE CLASSROOM (TO BE DEBATED AS EQUALLY AS DARWINISM) BE.... 
 
Number 1  - ... God created man
 
(Please pardon any offenses to Christians, as I am, indeed one, also.. albeit one who learned to help others, rather than fear them. I also realize jokes in  society must now be delineated as such beforehand, as in THIS .IS..A..JOKE... every one a Maserati !  ... zoom)
