Public Schools in the United States are a joke. Let us consider:
1: The earliest international tests begin at grade 3. At this point, our children rank in the top 3 nations.
2: At the time of graduation from high school, our children rank in the bottom 3.
3: Our children are taught it is okay, and good, to play with their genitals.
4: Our children are taught that the man-hole is just as correct a placement for their penis as a woman-hole.
5: Our children are taught that since filthy sex with anonymous partners is hard to avoid, a condom is greater than learning self control.
6: Our testing standards have holes large enough to let idiots through college without learning a thing.
7: Our teachers work 9 months of the year, get paid for the full 12, and make more money than the average college graduate yet complain about not getting paid enough while they "perform" a job with few or no objectives.
Really, it should not be what alternatives do we teach but rather just teach the truth. So, yes I am in favor of teaching the RE model. I am also in favor of ridding the half-theory of evolution from our schools. Why are they filling our childrens minds with nonsense instead of basic reading, mathematics and science?
