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. So, you don't want to talk about sex education in Rotherham?. Go figure. 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.
