i don't mind a variety of religions and atheistic viewpoints being discussed in the classroom... but who honestly believes that it will be done correctly?
we all know that fundamentalist (INSERT RELIGION HERE) will attempt to debunk any opposing viewpoints in the class. Conversely, the self-important atheist will undoubtedly disparage any faith in the curriculum. (both extreme examples, but you catch my drift) you know it as well as i do, no one will be able to teach it in an objective manner.
the opportunity for abuse and distraction far outweighs the any likely benefits of this idea.
let's make sure every kid can read, write and use a computer before resources are spent towards this.
