Nessie Lives in Louisiana
Public School Funding in Louisiana funneled into Private Vouchers---- Existence of Loch Ness Monster used as example in Religious School text book to disprove Evolution that is now eligible for public funding.
Governor Bobby Jindal enacted the largest school voucher program of any state and now 125 private and religious schools can receive public money from the Louisiana Believes program which gives families public money for school tuition.
Two Interesting Notes:
1) Only Christian Fundamentalist Schools seem acceptable to legislatures, Not Islamic.
2) Education in Louisiana is Bad: Belief that 'existence' of Loch Ness Monster disproves Evolution is a good Example of Bad Education.
Two Redeeming Features:
1) Anything that helps get people talking about the sad state of Public Education in Louisiana has to be for the better.
2) Louisiana once more make Texas look in good in comparison.
