How many times have kids died in the past decades due to bad decisions by careless doctors? I'm guessing many more than have died from poor decisions from parents (who actually pay attention to what's going on with their kids). But what does any of this have to do with a parent's decisions about what moral subjects should be promoted in school? Nada. Zero. And Zilch. Why don't you deal with what I write instead of making up straw men to attack?

I'm sorry to hear that — allowing books by religious zealots promoting child marriages would be one of those I would NOT want in the school library. How about you? Maybe the concept of censorship is not always that bad after all, eh?

Yep. And so-called "good intentions" can destroy a child's innocence. That's why I oppose the crap some teachers want to push on our young kids.
