If there is a boycott in this story, it is the Louisiana government boycotting actual science in its public education science classes.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I wanted to read the law and understand what it meant myself. Upon initial reading the short text of LA SB 733 (which apparently became S8561 as listed above) appears innocuous. However, this link provides a good analysis (esp. page 3) on how this law will be used to bring non-scientific content into the science class. As stated in the analysis, it would seem the law’s language of “open discussion of scientific theories” will permit the discussion of creationism and its criticisms of evolution in science class.
