That’s the point. There won’t BE a difference if they start forcing religion into the science classroom.

The difference is already barely discernible. Ever hear of Rethinking Schools? I doubt there is a public school in the nation that doesn’t use this publication. They have been spearheading the indoctrination of your children for the last nineteen years.

“At a time when racial and class inequalities are growing in our country, we believe that any vision of schooling must be grounded in “the common school.”

Schools are about more than producing efficient workers or future winners of the Nobel Prize for science. They are the place in this society where children from a variety of backgrounds come together and, at least in theory, learn to talk, play, and work together.

Schools are integral not only to preparing all children to be full participants in society, but also to be full participants in this country’s ever-tenuous experiment in democracy. That this vision has yet to be fully realized does not mean it should be abandoned.”
