Louisiana State Senate Passes Anti-Evolution Bill

The Louisiana state senate has unanimously passed a bill allowing public school science teachers to "supplement" their lectures on evolution, global warming, and human cloning with "other materials" (hint, hint-- I bet it's the Bible!). The bill was put forward by Sen. Ben Nevers (D-Bogalusa), and would let-- wait a second-- D-Bogalusa? D?! Really? Alright, if you say so. Anyway, Nevers says the Louisiana Science Education Act is designed to promote critical thinking because what is commonly held scientific belief now may be refuted in the future. You know, I get that he wants to slip a fast one past evolution. But global warming? I thought when Pat Robertson caved in to the mountain of evidence, that was it, it was an officially accepted reality. Are we really going to start debating it with sixth graders in public schools now? The bill now goes to the House for more debate. Read more reasons not to move to Louisiana here.
