I also find that "the adults who bitch" aren't pissed because the school isn't teaching the kids, but because the school isn't teaching the kids what the parent wants them too.
The people who keep yelling that they want religious studies in the school come to mind.
Personally, I think these parents are idiots, and I can't stand them. Why is it so hard to get these people to understand? Instill religious beliefs in your children IN CHURCH AND/OR AT HOME. It's a simple concept. It really is.

Now prayer in public schools is not right to me. Religion is between the person practicing it and their "god", gooberment has no place stepping in the middle.

Can you imagine what a prayer would sound like in government-speak?

could you explain that to the real American religious right?

You do realize that God has chosen Sarah to lead our nation don't you? I am serious, she believes this according to her ghost writer.

Is that god whispering in her ear, or is that her ego ? I am going with the latter.

When you consider that history was mostly written by the victors are you surprised to find bias?

The only reason I'm still alive is because God gets such a kick out of tormenting me.

Kind of like cooking an ant with a magnifying glass...real slow.
