"A Secular Moment"

The School Board in the City of Shreveport Louisiana, Caddo Parish announced that it was changing the Science curriculum in light of the two recent devastating hurricanes to hit this city of 200,000.

Reflecting the remarks made by their Mayor Robert W. (Bo) Williams, School board chairman Herbert K Smith indicated that he and the board, (in a 7-2) decision can no longer tolerate the inclusion in 11th grade science, the study of meteorology, without reference to an alternate theory that the weather is controlled by higher power, (or as part of the theory of intelligent design).

Bo went on to say that the current classes raise the godless theory of the possibility of global warming being responsible for the climate changes, along with the unsubstantiated theory that somehow the draining of the wetlands was also a contributing factor to the flooding.

The board heard testimony from the chief of the Caddo Indians, whose tribe ceded the Parrish lands to the settlers early in the 19th century. The tribal council agreed with the changes as well.

Parrish clerk Arthur G. Thompson indicated in a statement that the full changes needed to pass through the council of Southern Louisiana Parishes, and that the issue would be submitted to them by the end of the school year.

Of course, sick person that I am I made ALL of this up, but it sounds good to me.
