I am from Kansas and I'm definitely aware that this is a hoax. Proof: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/06/kansas-schools-ban-pokemon-not/Reles

I don't really think you guys read posts too well. :P 

Wow, I actually didn't know that these kinds of bible thumping anti-evolution places existed anymore. I mean jeez, if you don't want to believe in evolution its your freedom I guess, but you don't have to be so extreme and try to stop children from believing it.

Edit: Just went a page back and read that this was a joke. Now I feel stupid. (frown)

Given the lack of supporting evidence for verification and the timing, did anyone here even consider the possibility that this was another pretentious April Fools Joke or Hoax (and a rather lame one at that)?
