[Pen-l] The so-called meritocracy...

[ravi <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "Indian American" governor of Louisiana (of whom various Indian  
communities/groups in the USA are quite proud, if ignorant) has signed  
into law the "Louisiana Science Education Act" which calls for the  
creation of "an environment ... that promotes critical thinking" ...  
you guessed it ... about evolution. Below is a run-down of the man, in  
terms of both his academic success and his power mongering:

Since Jindal, as a fundie, must believe that life starts at conception  
(which in his case occurred in India), perhaps an argument can be made  
to exclude him from a presidential bid? ;-)
