For all the hue and cry let’s not forget a single salient fact. Contrary to the memes and the complaints we can teach science and Darwinian evolution in every school in the country. And that would not stop any private or religious school from teaching the bible as their denomination sees fit on Sunday. or Saturday. Any day right after school. They still have every right to all the religious lessons they like.

Jindal and his crowd aren’t interested in teaching creationism to their own kids in public schools. They’ve already taken care of that at home and church. They want to teach creationism to everyone else’s kids.

The point is to “spread the good word” and indoctrinate as many people as possible, preferably when they’re young. It’s kind of a feature of evangelicalism, and Jindal’s state (especially outside NO) is pretty much hardcore bible belt.
