>>That would be very hard to keep philosophical arguments out of any
classroom, and since that is so at least let's keep it balanced. I just
got a letter form the grade school counselor that planned parenthood
was
asked to do a 3 day sex education seminar which included HIV/Aids
education. We have evolution taught as fact in our science classes but
where is the balance. If as some say we need to keep philosophy,
religion
etc out of the classroom then let's start teaching instead of
indoctrinating our children. <<

Well said! Isn't philosophy the root of modern evolutionary science...
rationalism, empiricism, naturalism, etc..?
