David Vitter earmarks funds for religious group |
Maybe he is trying to make up for his romp in the prostitution hay by
giving tax money to his favorite religious group of mythical beliefs.

Vitter earmarks funds for religious group
Nonprofit supports creationist education
Sunday, September 23, 2007
By Bill Walsh
WASHINGTON -- Sen. David Vitter, R-La., earmarked $100,000 in a spending
bill for a Louisiana Christian group that has challenged the teaching of
Darwinian evolution in the public school system and to which he has
political ties.
The money is included in the labor, health and education financing bill
for fiscal 2008 and specifies payment to the Louisiana Family Forum "to
develop a plan to promote better science education."
The earmark appears to be the latest salvo in a decades-long battle over
science education in Louisiana, in which some Christian groups have
opposed the teaching of evolution and, more recently, have pushed to
have it prominently labeled as a theory with other alternatives
presented. Educators and others have decried the movement as a backdoor
effort to inject religious teachings into the classroom.

He's just going from prostitution to prostituting science.

He should stick to his whoremongering. It's the only thing he knows how
to do well.
