Re: VP Watch: The education angle
We’ve written before about Governor Bobby Jindal. There’s lots to like. And then there’s this (from the New York Times): Jindal campaigned in Louisiana as a social conservative, which meant “favoring teaching ‘intelligent design’ in schools as an alternative to evolution.”
You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.

good for Jindal.
For the last five years of my full-time career, with the full knowledge (and dismay) of State, County, and ACLU officials, I demonstrated to my students that mathematics proves beyond the shadow of doubt that evolutionism is nonsense. The students saw that the evidence clearly shows that every item associated with humans, animals and plants are Intelligent Designs and Intelligent Design is science because it is observable by billions of people trillions of times, always has been, always will be. I always let them figure it out for themselves and allowed them to believe what they chose, but at least they were exposed to the scientific facts that extremists want to censor from the minds of public school students. After the lesson a student from an atheist family said, “Evolution is silly.”
Evolutionists are bluffing when they say their beliefs are scientific. Be sure to look at the list of evolutionists who refuse the debate challenge from Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo. See the list at http://www.lifescienceprize.org/

I was a math major, and I am not sure what math you are talking about; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcAq9bmCeR0 . I was also taught that science is not merely a matter of observability but of testable, falsifiable hypotheses; I have not yet seen an ID argument proceeding from falsifiable grounds.
