This is being turned into more than what it actually is.

Well I think GOD should be taught in the home. Since sometimes it isn't let's add that to the task of the teacher.


Do you honestly not understand the difference between what you just said and the subject of this thread? Please tell me what REAL-WORLD harm will come to children who aren't taught about God, either in the home OR in school? Can't (without resorting to a bogus "loss of morality" argument or a "going to hell" argument)? That's because THERE ISN'T ANY. Conversely, not teaching kids about inappropriate touching, though it will have no effect on the vast majority of kids who live in stable-ish homes and aren't unlucky enough to cross paths with a molester, WILL undoubtedly have a negative effect upon children who haven't been taught how to recognize and resist it. Don't agree? Well, that's why the Illinois bill in question (which never became law) allowed parents to "opt-out" for ANY reason. It even allowed parents who refused to teach their children about inappropriate touching to ALSO refuse to allow the school to teach it, too: if a parent truly wanted their child to be ignorant about such matters, they still could, under the proposed Illinois law.

Ideals vs. reality again.

What that a teacher should just be teaching math and grammar?


And "God," according to you - whatever that means.

Talking to children about sex education in a kindergarten class isn't protecting them one bit.


According to you. And, IF you lived in Illinois, and IF this law had passed, you would have been able to choose not to have your child exposed to such ineffective education.

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging

I guess if you call sidestepping the questions is a good job, yes he did well in doing just that.

Every woman with a brain was rolling their eyes when they heard McCain's answers in his notorious convoluted way.
