re: #213 Zimriel

Well, I couldn’t resist replying. I didn’t think, nor don’t think, the person in #138 should be teaching science. I don’t think there should be multi-layered approaches to teaching hardcore subjects like science and math. Having said that, we already have Christian schools and madrassas and other religious schools in this country—what kind of students are they turning out? I don’t know. The Amish only educate their kids to the 8th grade. Should we ban these schools? I don’t know.
Up until now, in this country at least, this has not been seen as much of a problem for the country. If you do, well, what can I say? Many very fine schools in this country were founded and run by Roman Catholics—I have no idea whether they are teaching creationism, but I rather doubt it.
So, if you are thinking I’m headed for a meltdown on this issue, you’re wrong. I care about education, yes, and maybe I should be more concerned about these issues in Texas—but I’m just not. I have passionate interests in other topics and that is why I don’t usually post on these threads. Too much fire and brimstone for me who was made for cooler and calmer climes.
