I think, one day when the Democrat base lies in splinters and the Republican party splits into the libertarian and the conservative branches, we can have a good discussion about things like this. The solution, of course to what is and is not taught in public schools is to get government out of them and make them all private again, so people are free to choose a school that teaches whatever the community it serves wants it to teach.
I would love to be having this debate about what role the government should be playing in the role of education, but now isn't really the time--not until the Democrat party of higher taxes and big government is disbanded completely and destroyed beyond repair.
Just my $0.02
"not until the Democrat party of higher taxes and big government is disbanded completely and destroyed beyond repair."
Let's hope that the current big-gov't GOP gets destroyed with it and we can return to our Jeffersonian roots.
I also share your 'now isn't the time' sentiment concerning this issue, considering the far larger issues at hand.
...one day when the Democrat base lies in splinters and the Republican party splits into the libertarian and the conservative branches...
You've read my mind.
