I agree. America tends to overcompensate for whats percieved as a wrongdoing. We seem to have trouble finding the happy-medium, and must live with the consequences of over-correction. Being politically correct is a good example of such. As well as affirmative action. Now we are seeing the troubles with the total elimination of any and all religion in school.

I wouldnt want my child taught what to believe, but I would like them exposed to different ideas.

I think students should become familiar with what people in the world actually think.
I agree once more. The public school system (probably fueled by parents though) seems to want to protect the children from real life issues that they will probably be faced with in their adulthood. Seems cruel to me to think that a child would be better off or more "safe" being ignorant or assuming that they'll "just figure it out" when it comes to very complicated, complex issues.
