How can non-fundamentalist parents make THEIR against the restrictions (ok,
if not the ban)? Or other religious, but non-Christian parents?
some questions:
>CHICAGO -- The Kansas Board of Education voted on Wednesday to delete
>virtually any mention of evolution from the state's science
>curriculum, in one of the most far-reaching efforts by creationists
>in recent years to challenge the teaching of evolution in schools
It comes up later in the text, that the Board is elected - each state
separately? it doesn't consist of experts in different fields but of
politicians/sponsors/parents? what can parents do (if anything) when they
don't agree with the programmes adopted by the school (eg. if they want
secular education)? there's nothing in the article to show that the debate
over evolutionism got on a wider basis, to involve parents or ask teachers'
opinions (on a large scale, not just for the paper interview) - is this the
practice, profs write, board vetos/approves, and that's it? and, the writer
suggests that teachers' persecution is possible (if i understood correctly).
Is studying religion compulsory? Is it study of the Bible from a Xtian
standpoint, or do they allow (logically, should require) alternative
interpretatiopns and criticisms? Other religions?
Sounds macabre.
