would you say that simply reading enough about human anatomy is sufficient for someone to become a doctor; or do you think that they should take time to actually see human organs first hand (a least two or three times) before being allowed to perform that double bypass.

By your "logic" hanging a picture of Galen or Hippocates on the wall would facilitate their learning of anatomy.

One does not need to flag hanging to learn about WHERE a country is; WHAT its physical geography is like; HOW its people live, etc.

OH MY GOD! You cannot seriously be making this arguement.

No, you do not need to hang a flag to learn where a counry is or how its people live. It is called a teaching aid. Flags represent and identify countries.

No wonder American public schools are a laughing stock with sentiments like this.

Good post. I guess an apt analogy would be for an anatomy teacher to display two models at the beginning of school: one depicting the female labia, and another of female breasts. No other depictions of anatomy, just those. Who could complain?
