ucodegen, There are definitely problems associated with their model. And I doubt I would send my child to a similarly styled curriculum. My point was not that they are perfect, but that they are different. They very well may be perfect for one child but not another. The beauty is in the choice not whether it is universally applicable.
To the issue of whether we teach secular humanism in schools, I think we do. Just by removing God from all discussion, one can not argue for/against something from any position but secular humanism (or some derivative)…
But alas, this issue has come up in the court system as well, and my view point has been ruled against. So you all obviously have legs to stand on, I just disagree. After all the courts have been supportive of the overall growth of government everywhere…I find GSEs beyond the scope of the federal government, but the courts disagree with me on that too.
