Living in Kansas myself, I've found a lot of the politics here is really based on bible teachings. I'm from the Northeast originally so to move to a state that is heavily religious was quite a change for me. I've never met a Mormon until I moved out here to the Midwest. However I digress.
Evolution being banned in schools here, I think we're the only state that has that. What people don't realize is they wanted to teach creationism here, which is banned by law due to the separation of Church and State. Now it's something to do with the search of intelligent design, whatever that means.
Where I live, Johnson County, the school district my daughter goes to has barred teachers from correcting papers with red pens because it's seen as too aggressive of a color. Mind you this was voted upon and passed.
Most forms of gambling is illegal in this state, however if I just go 5 miles east to Missouri I can gamble my heart out. Though their laws about casinos are strange, they MUST be built on water (I'm not making this up.) and the water has to be at least a certain depth to be legal or risk shutting down.
I could go on about the laws in the state I live in. Kansas politics and it's politicians are heavily seeded in the 'Red State' mentality.
