But that's in Louisiana

Not content with its victory in the Florida Legislature, the Florida Citizens for Science is now lobbying Louisiana's governor over the issue of "academic freedom" in the teaching of evolution.

Though bills to open the scientific theory of evolution to criticism and alternatives failed here, they've received support in Louisiana. And that matters to us, Florida Citizens for Science spokesman Brandon Haught says.

"If such tactics successfully take root in Louisiana, (supporters) could then more easily spread elsewhere, including Florida," Haught suggests in a media advisory.

So on his blog he's urging Floridians who care to e-mail Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and ask him not to sign the bill into law: "Let him know that the bill absolutely does not help science education in any way, but rather will cause great harm."

And you thought the debate was over.

Isn't the same Republican faction fighting to "reform" education and make U.S. schools more competive with other nations in math and science also pusing to put creationism in our classrooms?
