The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Alex]

Can you point out in the current version of them (the Department of Education materials) specific quoted language you find problematic? Because I read them and don't see in them what you're saying is there.

Obviously that is because we're viewing the world very differently (I think it is wonderful for kids to be exposed to this stuff; you obviously don't).

So I'd be curious to see a mini-Rosetta stone where you say "this exact language means X."

This is not to say that I am all that impressed by the materials. They're full of the bull**** inanities that I hated about them when I was in school. But I don't find them bothersome beyond that.


As a completely side question. If elementary school minds are not yet ready to be exposed to political debate, how is it that they are capable of handling religious indoctrination. I'm assuming you didn't take the position that the nature of god was too complex for your 8-year-old so you were going to filter out any exposure to religious ideas until she was old enough to be properly skeptical?
