Louisiana Governor (and part time exorcist) Bobby Jindal’s stealth creationist bill is starting to bear rancid fruit, as the state’s top school board approves new rules intended to make it difficult for residents to challenge the teaching of creationism in science classes.

Pseudo-science promoted by ignorant religious fanatics takes another big step forward in Louisiana.

What the article, which I am quite sure the Little Green Goofballs readers will ignore, says

The state’s top school board Wednesday approved procedures for residents who object to materials that challenge the teaching of evolution in public school science classes.

The rules, which were praised by evolution critics, stem from a law approved last year by the Legislature.

Backers say the law is needed to give science teachers more freedom to challenge traditional theories, including Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

The five-member panel will determine whether the materials:

• Promote any religious doctrine, which is banned by the state law.
• Are scientifically sound.
• Are appropriate for the grade.

So, the laws and the board will give teachers the ability to offer alternative viewpoints, you know, education, opening minds, teaching kids to think for themselves and make decisions based on all the available material, within a specific framework that does not promote any particular religion and is scientifically sound.
