A new survey of Louisiana residents shows that only 39% believe that the theory of evolution is supported by scientific evidence.

And that’s just sad.

But even sadder, in a pathetically ironic way: Bobby Jindal’s wife has started a foundation to promote science education in Louisiana.

Among those who have expressed support for teaching intelligent design in public schools is Gov. Bobby Jindal.

How ironic that Jindal’s wife, Supriya, has launched a private foundation to promote math and science education in Louisiana’s classrooms.

Maybe this education should start with her husband the governor, who promoted and signed into law a Discovery Institute-sponsored “academic freedom” bill intended to sneak creationism into science classes, and who hangs out with people like David Barton — an extreme fundamentalist preacher who has given speeches to neo-Nazi groups.
