Well said. That was a ridiculous statement.

What is being forgotten by the useful tools is that the local yokels pay the taxes that fund the school and provide the teacher with an income.

Them there close minded, backward, local yokels should have no say in what goes on in the school or with their children, but they should keep footing the bill. Yes sireee./s

The purpose of public schools is to provide a well-rounded education, and that includes math, science, language, and arts. Parents should not impose their own personal beliefs into public schools.

Of these three plays, there is nothing offensive. A very small handful of parents have a moral problem with the content of the plays, but you think they should have the right to change the curriculum simply because they are tax payers? Would you feel the same if a small group of Muslims tried the same thing? I'm betting you would not.

This type of intolerance only hurts the children's academic development. Maybe that's why only 36% of this high school's graduates scored better than the national average in the ACT test in 2003.

If these parents have a problem with it, they can form their own little Christian school and teach their own.
