Any Louisianian who wants his kids to have a religious education can send them to parochial schools; although if the parochial school is Roman Catholic, the kids will learn standard biology ("Darwinism") in science classes, since the RC Church — Gov. Jindal’s church — approves it. Or they can home school them. Everybody’s fine with this. I’m fine with it. Louisiana Coalition for Science is fine with it. Raise you kids the way you want to. You may not, though — you constitutionally may not oblige taxpayers to fund your religious beliefs.

No one is funding their religious beliefs, they are merely allowing the entire story to be taught. What, are you concerned that when your kids learn the other side of the story that you aren’t teaching them that they will believe that side???
I would think that most people would want children that are as educated as possible, regardless of the subject.

Just what book are they teaching from ? I would not want anyone teaching any of this, if they are not spiritually lead.

That’s just it; the “entire story” you hope to see taught in science classes will inherently bring religion and religious beliefs into science class. That’s unacceptable.
Science should be taught in science class and the Hindi, Buddist, Judeo/Muslim/Christian, multiple Native American, Spagetti Monster, and African tribal creation mythologies should be taught in religion class(es). I’m not afraid of my kids learning about evolutionary biology alongside a multifaith understanding of how various cultures postulate we were created by a higher power...so long as the science is taught in science class and the religion is taught in religion class. Jindal’s crowning achievement this session won’t stand up to the legal challenge that is sure to follow, and rightfully so.

There is no other side to the story. There are many other sides that various religions believe and even within Christianity there are multiple versions.
But there’s only one scientific version. Which ones of the others do you want to teach.
Teach the truth.
No other religion teaches the Biblical version. It is a religious belief. If you teach one of them, you should teach them all.

Who gets to decide on what spirituality is? Me? You? The Catholic Church? A Muslim? A Hindu? An atheist? The government? The legislators? Jindal?
And I want the scientific facts of global warming taught also. After all, Al Gore and a host of respected scientists say it is a proven scientific fact! And Al Gore was VP of the US and has a Tony or Emmy or some kinda’ award to prove it.

To prove what? That he made a popular film?
Oscars are given for movies. Tonys are given for Broadway shows. I can’t see Gore performing on Broadway, can you?
Not that I disagree with him on global warming but only that a) he is not president because he could not carry his home state of Tennessee, b) he “misspoke” badly when he said he invented the Internet and c) he let George Bush beat him out.

You hit the nail on the head. No one should be able to decide what is spirituality for another person so that voids this being taught in school. If they are going to try
and teach history they should teach from the Torah which was wrote by the Jewish people. In writing the king James bible many of the Hebrew words were translated
badly and sometimes they change the whole meaning of what was really being said.
I would not want our kids being taught the Torah as Law because it is the old testament and yet the new testament is really tied into the history of the old.
Now if you are a true Jewish believer, you do not believe in the new testament.
So how can Jindal and friends decided what to teach and how to teach it ? I think if they do this, we will only see the ACLU become involved in this and
in the long run christian kids will lose more of their rights.

I do so hope the ACLU steps in on this issue. Since they have stepped into the case of Steve Theriot telling his staff that they can not vote in a recall, I
believe they take up this issue.
Seems like the protection of liberty if being forgotton on many things. Now they use it as a way to take it away from us.
