You do believe, don't you that ninth graders are mature enough to be exposed to all major religions on an equal basis, and decide for themselves, on the basis of objective evidence, which are true and which are false?

You do believe, don't you that ninth graders are mature enough . . .

Certainly. But they must show proof of age first.

I am not qualified to place stipulations on when and where an observer of the universe should be allowed to be exposed to this or that information and at the same time be capable of comprehending, assimilating, and responding to the same. I've entrusted that responsibility to public school boards and universities since these are apparently the only places where such qualifications could possibly reside.
