[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 69643969, member: 330042"] YouTube is hardly full of dispassionate voices. It's the internet after all. I'm fully OK with kids being taught creationism (even though I am not a creationist), if that's what their parents feel is best, because I value traditional institutions like the family. It's the universal wisdom of humanity that the family is where we learn to love others and act as a good members of society- the family is a school for virtue. This is taught by Conficius and also reflected in the Jewish Torah in the Ten Commandments ("Honor your father and mother"). So I feel unless the parents are doing something illegal like physically abusing or exploiting their children, the parents should be left alone to raise their kids as they see best. Unlike most liberals, I'm not in favor of public schooling on pragmatic grounds. Unschooled and Homeschooled kids can turn out much better. A few months ago I read about a girl who never attended school once in her life, her parents were opposed to it, and yet now she's a documentary filmmaker. State schooling in the US has always been about churning out lots of drones for the industrial-business complex, but at heart I value the individual and their potential far more, and at any rate, society is changing and moving on from 19th century agrarian models, the US is no longer a manufacturing country. So we just don't need that type of education. But traditions die hard and the NEA has a lot of lobby in the Democrat party. [/QUOTE]
