Somewhat related to the current discussion:
This is a good point. I personally am not worried about this issue. Why? Because I'm going to teach my children on top of what the schools teach. I'm not going to be a lazy parent and push off ALL of the teaching onto the public school system. I will teach my children about all of the ideas that currently exist. Evolution, Intelligent Design (of many types) and whatever else comes up. Then on top of that, I'm going to teach them what I believe to be correct, and let them know where I stand. Ultimately, it's up to them to decide what they believe for themselves. But in order to do that correctly, they need as much information as possible about the entire situation. Public school can't do that. I learned a long time ago that the public school system is a joke anyway. If you want a child to learn something important, don't expect the public school system to teach it to them, let alone teach it correctly. -TJ
