Teach Your Children Well..

Let's try to start teaching kids the truth. Don't add yet another layer of mythology between the kids and reality.
I agree. But we have to define what truth is. Some of us believe that morality and ethics have a spiritual dynamic behind them, while others believe that everything is all about biological and cultural conditioning.
At least we should teach the kids all viewpoints and the basis behind them.

I believe that the top 4 dominant rweligions of a culture should be explained in detail in a religious studies class, with passing refernce to all of the rest. I agree that religious theories about the origin of life should not be given a scientific consideration.
After all, we need to leave them a little slot in there to learn about Karl Marx!
