Don't study science in Louisiana

Sigh. It was only last Monday that I wrote about bills pushing "academic freedom" as a way to allow teachers to teach the weaknesses of evolution, meaning a way to teach creationism. I said then that several states had introduced the bills and "none had gotten into law -- yet." Alas, the bill in Louisiana had passed the state legislature by the time I wrote that and today the governor signed it. The governor is Bobby Jindal who has recently promoted Creationism. Alas, again, no public official, elected or appointed, anywhere in the state, has said anything against the bill. Ouch. This report tells how the Louisiana Family Forum, state organization for Focus on the Family, has the Louisiana legislature in its pocket when it comes to issues the LFF cares about.
