“”It also reminded me how Jindal signed a dumb and devious bit of legislation last summer, allowing local school districts to promote alternative (i.e., religious) doctrines in their science curriculums when it comes to evolution.””

Okay, I’m glad you told me this was satire, because these discussions have been going on for a long time. It’s just that we want both “theories” to be presented side by side, given equal time. (that’s the best we can hope for)

As for your latter statements about trends with society/young people - hopefully, these young people will grow up, really grow up. Remember the old saying - “If you’re twenty and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you’re forty (or fifty:-)))) and not a conservative, you have no brain.”

I didn’t quite understand your post. If you attributed all the words in my initial post to me, respectfully, you mis-read that post. But, in any event, please understand that I have not one thing against Gov. Jindal- I just posted what I thought was an unfair “hit” piece on him -—and conservatives generaly.

There are not two scientific theories to present. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory, but the alternative you want presented is not. It is a religious belief. (See my FR home page for definitions of "theory" and other pertinent terms.)

What you are requesting is equal time for your religious belief in science classes, and that has been disallowed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
