i do worry a bit about the movement within some conservative circles to opt out of the existing educational system in favor of reactionary homeschooling or church basement bible-based schools--they seem to me to hamstring children in the name of the parents ideology. to the extent that this book is something like a symptom of this--which has been going on for quite a while now--it does not strike me as funny.
