- Um, speak for yourself, huh? As an atheist, I have nothing to do with
- *your* lord and saviour, so please stop slapping me with him like a dead
- fish.
-
- I'm all for the right of parents not to have their kids subjected to the
- mindless pap that schools call an education; while the illiterates being
- churned out by colleges do make me much more valuable in the job market,
- I feel sorry for them.
-
- But some of the things you advocate - like not teaching kids "organic
- evolution" - simply go against common sense. Schools should present
- information that is backed up by the best possible evidence. Physical
- evidence contradicts almost everything presented in the bible - so take
- it as just one more test of your faith. (That God, he must be some kind
- of prankster!)
-
- Schools are in their current state because too many people are too busy
- trying to put a different spin on every part of the cirriculum. The
- lefties demand that kids get sex education - but the righties demand
- that they not - so the end result is that kids end up getting it, but
- it's so watered down as to be meaningless.
-
- As long as politicians are demanding that schools be surrogate parents,
- this crap will go on.

- Um, remember the parable about the widow who quietly drops a single coin
- in the basket, and how that meant much more than the great show that the
- rich man put on? It might be worth reviewing.
