Well, i hate to start a flame war, but(makes sure
flame retardand underware is in place) what do we
expect? We teach kids that we are nothing but highly
evolved apes, and that survival of the fittest is the
rule of nature. If that's true, then morality is
nothing more than a hindrance to our survival and
there is no right and wrong. If Darwin is correct, so
are these kids and they've done nothing wrong.

Well, that's the problem right there. Parents
abdicated the
responsibility to instill moral and ethical values in
their kids to
complete strangers in the local school system. Just
asking the
question
"what are they learning" implies a lack of control and
knowledge over
the content. I want my taxes back too, but we home
school; we're not
getting any value for our tax dollars, but at least
they're not ruining
my kids for life! <g>

It is great to be able to click on questionable emails
and the like and
not lose any sleep over them, install software you can
trust, etc. =20
