    Can a Florida voter sign this guy's recall petition. I used to brag about Jindal and tell people that he was going to improve things in Louisiana. I might have been wrong.

    Re: "Science law could set tone for Jindal"

    here's a little known secret...so shhhhh!...religion and anti-evolution sentiment is already very prevalent in the average Louisiana classroom. No, I am certainly not saying that every Louisiana science teacher walks in step, surely, there are some misguided liberal types that are atheists and actually believe that evolutionary nonsense. And there are some that set-aside their personal beliefs, hold their nose, and teach Darwinism as if it were fact. But, and this is just a guess based loosely on personal experience, I'd say that a full 2/3 of science teachers in Louisiana will preface the topic with: now, children, I don't believe any of this, and you shouldn't either, but I am required to teach this lesson, so let's hurriedly get through it, and we'll return to learning about real science.

    More over, the kids themselves, usually balk at the notion they descended from apes and ask the teacher to skip the lesson. I've seen it for myself.

    Again, I am basing that 2/3 on just my personal experiences and it hardly represents a true "scientific" statistical survey of Louisiana classrooms. Just wanted to emphasize that for credibility, as I am in to real science myself.

    Evolution is not nonsense. People outside of backwoods Louisiana and the Bible belt understand this. The evidence is pretty damn conclusive on the issue.

    It takes a whole lot of faith to believe in Evolution.

    Why is faith required?

    Re: "Science law could set tone for Jindal"

    Just to highlight something from the article......
    Lining up to promote the bill were a coalition of religious organizations and Seattle's pro-Intelligent Design think tank, the Discovery Institute. According to the Louisiana Science Coalition, Discovery fellows helped write the bill and arranged for testimony in its favor in the legislature. The bill itself plays directly into Discovery's strategy, freeing local schools to "use supplemental textbooks and other instructional materials to help students understand, analyze, critique, and review scientific theories in an objective manner."
    Discovery, conveniently, has made just such a supplemental text available. As we noted in our earlier analysis, Discovery hopes to use these bills as a way to push its own textbook into the classroom. Having now read the text of the book, it is clear that our earlier analysis was correct; the book badly misrepresents the scientific community's understanding of evolution in order to suggest that the basics of the theory are questioned by biologists. In doing so, it ignores many of the specific questions about evolution that are actively debated by scientists.
    sounds like someone's looking forward to selling some new text books

    Funny that there is not a coalition to "force" teachers to show the dissagreement by many respected actual scientists that global warming is caused by man.

    That is because it doesn't create friction with Christianity. The weird thing about global warming is that people seem to accept it more and more despite the ever growing dissent.

    Because the evidence is far from conclusive and you have to draw YOUR OWN conclusions instead of base your conclusions on fact.

    Why do you say it is far from conclusive?

    I guess you could go and look up the 80+ page thread on it where all of us discussed this same thing and beat our respective dead horses to death. :icon_wink:

    Except no one ever pointed out the "hole" that required a leap of faith.
