Salamantis,

I think that is true. That is why I tell my 8 year old when he tells me how we should recycle that recycling laws were created as make-work projects for the Mafia. Nevertheless, I hate his lectures because the naive views of his teachers’ do not comport with my worldview.

I can imagine a creationist family resenting their kid’s tale of Darwin and resenting it as well. I think that makes me against public education.

I can also imagine a racist family resenting their kid’s embrace of racial equality of rights and opportunities. Which is just as good a thing for the kid as is an acceptance of empirical science.
