- Okay. Calculus may be a valid mathematical discipline, but it is
- in direct conflict with those opinions (values) which I teach in my home.
-
- And, I'll teach my opinions to my children about the dangers of
- inductive reasoning on which calculus is based. Since calculus is a
- contrary to my opinions (values are opinions), do I have a right to
- ban calculus from the schools because of my opinions (religion)?
-
- Just musing on the thought.

- |If one of my kids turns out gay he turns out gay. When he reaches the age

- If your kind of love means that you say "I love you, but don't
- bring your husband home for Christmas, and don't call me wanting to talk
- about those objectionable parts of your life," then your kid will not
- be taking any "easy way" out of anything.
-
- I'm not suggesting that you'd be this way, but I know many parents
- who have. Being Gay can be quite difficult for many when having to live
- without even partial parental acceptance.
