The government also funds the teaching of arithmetic.
Is this an example of creationist logic?
The only places I know of where people are routinely killed for their beliefs are those countries with theistic governments. Historically, this has been true when Christianity was the religion combined with government. A good many of the early settlers in this country came here to escape Christian monarchies.
Apparently you know very little of the Muslim/Islamic belief system - or it is just convenient for you to omit? I have never advocated a government forced religion so you apparently go there just to obsfucate my post.
Regarding arithmetic - the government stopped teaching with the old tried and true methods - now they teach 'new math' in addition to teaching 'whole-word reading' rather than phonics.
Maybe you are also unaware that the more government has tried to 'help' the school educate the masses better the lower the SAT scores have dropped while at the same time taking higher and higher percentages of taxpayers money to 'fix' the problem(s)...
