It doesn't matter. Using the children, who are captive on the bus, for an "educational" lesson is unacceptable. No matter how worthy the info or the motivations of the so called "teacher" may be. I stress "may be".
Just a word for you and the others. Do not try this with my kid or I will put a stop to it...right quick.

Good gravy this discussion seems to have gotten your dander up! This latest post sounds like you have some bizarre objection to any education taking place on school buses (even algebra?).
And what's with the fixation on school bus captivity. Do you think kids are free to come and go in a regular class room? Or do you think that Mrs Mayors would stop the bus and not let any of the kids off unless they agreed or something?
Follow along for one second, please. What are the odds that any of us on this thread would ever find ourselves driving the school bus that picks up your child? Why would you say something so angry and irrational? Did someone here threaten to find your child and talk to them about stem cell research whilst driving them to school in a yellow bus?

Is this Candid Camera?

I believe you and I agree on more than you'll admit.
For instance:
The very first time I ever heard about sex was on the school bus. I even remember the name of the kid who told me. We were five years old. What Paul told me was so graphic that I can't go into it here.
We hear in the news on a regular basis about kids having sex at younger and younger ages.
I'm certain you agree with me that this is a bad thing.
Now if I were a bus driver and I heard the kids discussing what I heard at five years of age, I as a bus driver would speak out against it with all my might.
It could save someone from a lifetime of pain.
If I get in trouble for it, oh well.
Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Now you judge for yourself, who should I obey. You? Or God?
Now that scenario was just over children having sex, murder for research is even worse.
Now I hear what you're saying about wanting to be in control of your kids education, and not wanting them indoctrinated. This is a noble sentiment that I understand full well. My kids are ages 8, 10, and 12.
I also know what I was indoctrinated with on the bus at age 5.
I cannot disagree more that sitting there and saying nothing is the right thing to do.
I would encourage you to have the courage to do the right thing, and stand up for what is good, and speak out against evil when the time comes.
