That's alright, it will be fine to replace education with religious dogma to promote openmindedness and free thinking.

Enlightenment? We don't need no stinkin' Enlightenment.

Once you get past the three R's, school has no other purpose that to teach you how to think on your own. After that, the little nimrods can specialize.

I still think that being a proficient teacher is more of a gift than an occupation. But I guess a mentor personality gets lost in a cattle car reality.

Try and convince the Michelle Rhee's of this world about that. If all these so called "experts" would simply get lost education would improve exponentially.

Why would anyone be concerned about testing the theory of evolution?

Students should be taught to question theories and conclusions. But they must understand that valid tests are based on facts and data, not on religious dogma. The public schools, particularly in science class, are not the places to advance religious explanations for the nature of life.

Right. This is why we have churches. And why you have yours and I have mine.
It's also why religion and government should never mix. Once that happens government and religion become one. I can't think of anything more frightening than that.

SORE. Limiting the drugs to bedtime. I like them too much. Don't want to get hooked.
