Exactly, or like the people who get in a huge uproar over things like the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance... I just don't understand the huge deal about it. Obviously I can see why maybe some people wouldn't like it... but is it really that huge of a deal to where there should be protests and petitions and things like that? Maybe we should pay teachers more or like Medusa said, actually HAVE materials that aren't 20 years old... it just doesn't make sense to me.
Some people have too much time on their hands and they fill it with pointless crusades.
