And Louisiana goes down and down and down...

I hope to do a more extended post on this later.

Louisiana Coalition for Science has a new post up that is simply appalling in how far creationists have gotten in their push to undermine good science education there. The creationists of the Louisiana Family Forum seem to have gotten rules rewritten so that good teachers complaining to good people in the state apparatus will be thwarted so that "the prerogative of [Department of Education] professionals to handle the review process and make a recommendation to [Board of Elementary and Secondary Education] has been seriously undermined."

I'll say. There seems to be nothing to prevent total charlatans from the review panels. Total yahoos free of scientific evidence and the weight of reality can attack biology curriculum with impunity.

What I find interesting in this post, though, is that the climate change part of SB 733 hasn't been latched onto by the Luzianna Fam Forum. Wonder why.

Obviously no one in Louisiana watched the Nova special - Intelligent [sic] Design on Trial.

It's SO sad it's sickening.
