Teaching moral and spiritual values? Parents' job.
Teaching diverse beliefs and alternate world views? School's job.
Knowledge is power.
Unfortunately, it is all too common these days to have people pointing the finger at schools for not doing the job of the parents. Pretty soon we'll be taking care of them from sunrise to sundown, teaching them morals and. character, bathing them, feeding all three meals, teach them right from wrong... Oh wait, we already do. And schools are also expected to teach students everything they possibly need to pass state tests and prepare them for rigorous higher education and life in general. Kind of hard when they are also expected to play parent and perform all the roles attached to that.
No thanks. I want my kids parented at home and taught at school. Don't rewrite/edit history to fit a confined set of beliefs.
