I think that the problem with Jindal in this speech was how it was written. I think that Jindal is running into a wall here. Here in lil ole louisiana (where I live and he is my governor), he can say what he feels, and do what he feels is right. On a national level, the national GOP is going to try and tell him what he can and can't say, what opinions he can and can't express. I think he may have issues learning how to play the game their way. However, Jindal/Huckabee 2012!
On the ID, evolution, creation teaching in schools.
Well, We can either teach one belief, or we can teach multiple.
Lets say we decide to teach one belief...which do we go with? The 'scientific' non-religious one that has no actual scientific proof backing it up? Or one of the many religious types that also have no/very little scientific proof backing them up?
Ok, lets just teach the one with the most support......guess we get to teach creation then huh?
Lets teach multiple ones, well, how do we decided which ones? Should we start teaching our kids about the spaghetti monsters? Or should we take Greek mythology out of the literature classes and teach it as possible fact?
This is something that simply put has to be left up to the independant school districts, OR, better yet, left OUT of school altogether.
