Louisiana: Epically Doomed
badastronomy.com — The State Senate has approved a bill that will allow the teaching of creationism in the classroom. It ’s been sent on to the House, where it is expected to pass. The bill will have to go back to the Senate for approval due to an amendment that was added, but again that’s expected to sail through.

oh goodie! - spankermatic, on 06/13/2008, -0/+4Sneaky Creationists - all part of the wedge to make America a theocracy.
- ggathergood, on 06/13/2008, -0/+3I am a brit living in New Zealand and I was totally dumbstruck when I read this. I dont even live there and was totally lost for words. How can people be so short sighted. It reminded me of the New Morality from Ben Bova's series of books that make up the Grand Tour series.

Watch as states like Louisiana and Texas (also looking likely to pass this kind of legislation) drop in terms of their scientific and economic achievements over the next few years/decades. Make sure to remember this turning point as we are about to see empiracle data of the effects of allowing religious ignorance into the science classroom. Perhaps these experiences will help prevent such mistakes in the future.

- zombies187, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1America, I know you still have bad feelings about helping us...but I beg for federal intervention. You can't just let us run schools this way. It doesn't bring justice to these children to have local control of schools.
