Will, Will, Will...you're pushing a worst possible case scenario. Now, I admitedly know nothing of California schools, but that's not how the rest of us roll.You've known me long enough by now to recall that I am an atheist...right? Now, ask yourself why an avowed atheist would subject his one and only son to the "horrors" of a Catholic school. The answer is the quality of the education that he receives. I'm even ok with the religion classes that he takes. It's not going to hurt him one bit. As the son of a minister, you know that while religion does not equal morality, it does espouse values. I have 0 problems with him learning values along with geometry (or should I have said algebra). Trust me that I'm keeping a close eye on the whole "indoctrination" thing. When it comes to things like evolution vs creationism...if it comes up, you bet your ass that I'm going to temper it. What he comes up with in the end will be entirely up to him.
