After the Louisiana legislature passed the LA Science Education Act, a total of nine national scientific societies publicly called on Jindal to veto it. He ignored them, as well as everyone else who contacted him requesting that he veto the bill, choosing instead to help execute the agenda of the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF), the Religious Right organization on whose behalf Louisiana Sen. Ben Nevers introduced the bill and on whose behalf Jindal signed it. Jindal is a staunch ally of the LFF. The citizens of Louisiana, whose educational well-being the governor claims to be so concerned about, are now paying the price--literally--for his loyalty to his conservative Christian base.

Good! Although as the author points out American scientific societies may one day be holding their meetings in Canada!
Good to see some tangible response to the creationist lunacy. They probably don't care but it will be a loss of cash. Let us remember that the Vatican has stated that creationsim is scientifically and theologically wrong!!
