Record Setting Second-Of-The-Day 'Jindal Is Nuts' Post

Louisiana schools open to creationism?

The next political flap over evolution is about to land right on one of John McCain's would-be running mates. On Wednesday, the Louisiana House passed a bill that would let the state's teachers change the way they teach topics like global warming, cloning, and evolution, letting them discuss criticisms of evolutionary theory and use supplementary materials that some critics fear could include fundamentalist Christian publications.

The bill passed with a resounding 94-3 vote. As the state Senate has already passed a similar measure, the legislation will likely soon be up for Governor Bobby Jindal's approval. Jindal is rumored to be under consideration as McCain's vice presidential nominee. How he handles the evolution bill could wind up becoming a factor in whether he's chosen, as conservatives and liberals alike will be watching with some interest.
