Parents Sue N.J. School for 'God' Song Ban
[QUOTE=amsterdam]i would not go that far,but liberal thinking is screwing with our kids in schoool.
QUOTE]
Can I add a provizo that that is relevant only in the US?
Over here many ideologies are inherent in education, as it whats makes for a balanced view, and we all want our kids to have a balanced and informed perspective on the world, dont we?
For an example, going back a few years now, when my old colleage had an open night, once of the history teachers set upa stand pretending he was a member of the Nazi party, and spent all night saying why we should go for the nazi manefesto. Not the genocide, anti-semetism, but the actual selling points that helped get the Nazis in. Devils advocate in a debate basically.
The college got complaints like you wouldnt beleive, as you'd expect, so said history teacher invited all the upset paretns back and layed it down - "we dont teach one perspective, we teach those that are relevant to the subject so your child can see all the sides and draw an informed conclusion. With the example you saw, your children would be able to give me a full critique by the end of term".
Parents were chuffed to bits.
