What would it do for the students' educations to have them read and analyze the comments on these forums about the controversy, and determine, based on evidence, exactly which is the stronger argument and why? That ain't no fill-in-the-blank. And it might actually teach hands on critical thinking for once, instead of that old "memorize-the-lesson" stuff.
But the excuse is probably, "they're not ready for that," or "its not part of the state curriculum." But real learning never happens easily and conveniently when you want it to. It might be high time we ask ourselves, what is the education these kids are really getting?
It seems that some Lakeview-Ft. Oglethorpe parents would rather have their children TAUGHT than empower them to LEARN.

It's not arrogance, vtg. I've seen it, and you have too. If someone fails to recognize the value of the principle of fairness, they had better be mighty poor, mighty overworked, or mighty exploited, cause if they're not, they got no excuse but plain old ignorance. Good luck getting Jesus to wash that off in an hour on Sunday.
Our population here is largely one religious home-team. What is the use of fairness when there's only one team on the playing field? I consider you a hero, and i believe that anywhere else in the country your actions would be met with respect and agreement, even among the most devout of Christians. The fact is, people see no reason to be fair when they see no 'other' to be fair to. Though you see it, and i see it, and the federal government happens to remember (thank God!) that our forefathers saw it, those people won't see it until they catch a glimpse of the world. This is why the Southern stereotype has a reputation for ignorance. But they are often poor and overworked and exploited, and may never get to see it before they teach their children and then die. And just as often, the children embrace their ignorance as a tradition, and are proud of it, because it was given to them by their family whom they dearly love. Which is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly sad.
I would like to meet you one day to thank you. It is because of you that the South is rising.

i realize a terrible mistake i made when i said "people won't see it until they catch a glimpse of the world." That's just plain wrong. Even if they glimpse the whole wide world, they still might never see it.
