[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

As a Christian parent, science class is the least of my worries, though I don't like that at all. It's everything else that really bugs me. Kids around here make comments like "most of the kids at my school are bisexual." One girl talks about the "XYZ" kid who puts an X on the calendar for the days he likes girls, a Y for the days he likes boys, and a Z for the days he likes both.

Some kids had to go to the theater and watch The Hours as a class assignment. I could go on and on. And it could get FAR more personal -- about members of my own family (so I will refrain).

I certainly agree with you there! I would charge that kind of social problem on the shoulders of the parents...not the teachers or the school. If Mom/Dad (assuming the kid has one of each) ignore the media content their offspring
is absorbing, the rest of society eventually pays the price when their Twerp exposes his interpretation of that media. IMO the boy is acting out his EMINEM fantasy.
I confess ignorance of the content of THE HOURS; I don't attend the movies, and our Greatkids see only Pg13 MOVIES as yet. MTV, BET, and daytime soap operas, which I also
skip, are bad enough for me.
