[EveningStar]

The repercussions that were expected from the Louisiana legislature’s passage and Gov. Bobby Jindal’s signing of the creationist 2008 LA Science Education Act have begun. Louisiana taxpayers and schoolchildren are now reaping what the legislature and governor have sowed: the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, one of the nation’s leading scientific societies, is boycotting Louisiana.

Intellectual blackmail.

So much for scientists winning their debate of ideas.

I've heard of Louisiana before, but this is the first I've ever heard of the "Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology".

Who cares if a bunch of Darwin worshiping buffoons throw a tantrum?

[WheresMyBailout]

No one’s asking them to come down to Louisiana.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Taking their toys and going home, eh?

Horrors! How will the state ever survive?

Actually, those students in Louisiana will some of the few in the nation not be indoctrinated with a theory is brain-dead and contradicts the FOSSIL record. The Cambrian Explosion proves Darwinism is secularist gobbledygook and propaganda and not science. It is as absurd as the global warming scam.

Oh well, you guys can always homeschool.

On NO!!!!!! They could lose hundreds of dollars.

[Dutchgirl]

So, the Scientists go without jazz, zydeco, cajun and creole cooking, King Cake, beinets and Mardi Gras..and Louisiana goes without

[Navy Patriot]

I'd just phony up a super secret state document listing the animal testing abuses committed by the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology's gene manipulation program, with their home addresses, and see that a copy fall into ALF’s hands.

[willgolfforfood]

WOW!! The upcoming Mardi Gras celebrations will probably be like a ghost town compared to earlier times.

[rawcatslyentist]

The Darwinians believe that in an infinite universe, life just springs out of nothing, and indeed the universe itself springs out of nothing.

S..... OK..... Whut evah floats their boat.

However they refuse to believe in an infinite universe that life evolved to such an advanced state as to be able to create this universe!

Nope they refuse to believe that!

ONZ! All the casinos and strip clubs will go bankrupt without the all-important patronage of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology!

[cookcounty]

Oh No!!! The SICB!!!

How will the state ever recover?

[Kanzan]

“Louisiana Coalition for Science” sounds like a bunch of libs. The buzz terms are everywhere and all include the word “science”. But if you bring up the concept of scientific method their eyes glaze over and they call you a fascist.

[tbw2]

How many people would even notice such a boycott?

[CajunConservative]

Oh yeah the the revelers really give a sh!t what these whineyassed nerds think right now.
