At the very least it should be up to the parents to keep track of what's taught when, then they can inform the teachers when they'll be huddling in their basement in fear in case their kid hears something objectionable. 
How many different sets of homework, quizes, and exams will teachers have to make to compensate for students that are excused? Cause an exam with evolution on it is still exposure to evolution.
More kids remaining in schools isn't a worthy goal in and of itself unless they are getting a good education.
So where do you draw the line (it's been asked multiple times)? How many parents have to object before the topic can be treated this way?
My solution is to leave it the way it is.. if parents want to tell their kids that what they learned at school is bunk, then let them. If kids want to criticize evolution, shouldn't they at least understand what it says?? |
You are an onry cuss sometimes. The line has been drawn at evolution and sex ed because there is significant numbers of parents who have concern about these areas. World War II didn't make the grade because there are few or no parents who have issues with that material. Nothing else did either.
