You saw the recent statistics Alex posted about Maharishi School in Fairfield,
right?
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/410998
In most local schools, vaccination rates were between 86% and 93%. But at
Maharishi School, 47%. That strikes me as almost more dangerous than not
believing in evolution.
There have been several articles in the U.S. press lately dealing with the fact
that Republicans are terrified of higher education and doing everything they
can to get rid of it, for the simple reason that more college grads vote
Democratic.

Seems like a poor reflection on the state of education in America. Looks like
the UK is heading that way too with it's growing dependence on privately funded
academies which are often fronts for religious groups.
And then there's the deliberately state funded religious schools. I can't think
of anything more stupid myself, basing the fundamental on a child's education
on an obviously mythical story that their parents simply "believe" to be true,
and then only because their parents believed it too.
It's time to break the chain for a generation and see where we end up. There'd
be no more primed fodder for the ISIS jihad army for a start, or Boko Haram.
That's the world made a much better place in a heartbeat and well worth the
extra effort of teaching kids to think for themselves.
Maybe even US government representatives might gain the pleasure of
understanding their place in the world a bit better?
