In a National Review Online blog post entitled "Governor Jindal, Veto This Bill!," John Derbyshire explains what the Louisiana Science Education Act is really all about:
The entire effect of this law, if Gov. Jindal signs it, will be that one cartload of Louisiana taxpayers' money will go to the Discovery Institute for their mendacious "textbooks," then another cartload will go into the pockets of lawyers to defend the inevitable challenge to the law in federal courts, which will inevitably be successful, as they always are, and should be.
Could this really be all about selling textbooks?
I honestly don't know.
However, one of the authors of the book is a freelance technical writer named Jonathan Moneymaker.
That can't be just a coincidence, right?
