Louisiana passes "academic freedom" law.

NO ORLEANS, Friday (UNN) — The Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA) was signed by Governor Bobby Jindal yesterday. The bill will allow local school boards to approve supplemental classroom materials specifically for the critique of controversial alleged "scientific" theories.

"The Act is intended to foster critical thinking," said Gov. Jindal. "We want the state Board of Education to assist teachers in promoting open and objective discussion of scientific theories including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning."

"Next, we'll work on classroom resources concerning the debates on the position of the Earth in the universe, whether Newton got it right, whether Democritus or Aristotle was correct about matter, and whether, in fact, the liver is the most important organ in the body. Then we'll get onto whether the 'periodic table' is just a Liberal conspiracy or fire, earth, air and water are a better fit for reality, and, of course, a critical examination of whether the so-called Holocaust happened or was a put-up job by the Jesus-killers."

Some have worried that the United States will fall behind in education, science and engineering and hence economic achievement. But the new bill comes in the wake of the vast successes of Faith-Based Mortgage Lending and its beneficial effects on the US housing market. "The replacement of the US dollar with rocks and small twigs as a more trusted and widely-accepted medium of exchange is merely a temporary blip," said Ben Bernanke, director of the Federal Reserve. "The hordes of Europeans flocking to New York for the cheap shopping and laughing as they give the bums Euro notes or pound coins are merely an optical illusion. The Faith-Based Security employed by the Transport Security Administration should deal with it conclusively."

Gov. Jindal looks at the move as an opportunity. "Louisiana will make America proud again. After the success of No Orleans' Faith-Based Levees in 2006, we'll impress the world again with our Penis Rocket To The Moon project. Or we would, except that we'll be advocating critical discussion of the Intelligent Stork theory of reproduction."

I think this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7476413.stm) needs the UnNews treatment next.

My husband and I laughed so hard when I read this aloud. Yes, it's all true. I used a rock to buy some alcohol yesterday. Interesting, they seem to be lowering the cost of booze here to supliment the economy's woes. I wonder if this country will become alcohlic in it's constitution, since alcohol is the only thing that seems to make using twigs and such OK to use, in the minds of Americans. I know it makes me feel better when I spend 60 bucks on a tank of gass for my Rabbit, which is a 12 gallon tank.

I like the idea that witches and wizards exist. Let's teach our kids that Easter bunny is real, too. A giant bunny rabbit comes to your house and hides eggs. That is just frickin scary. But hey, so is Global Warming...which is obviously a ploy by Al Gore to become president.

Falicies are so important. I believe that Louisiana should also teach kids that "you can't get pregnant if you are on top" as well. LOL

Too funny!!!
