I thought schools were meant to TEACH. If so, how about teaching about all the people who have been killed in the name of Allah, Christ, God, whatever. Seems to me most problems in the Middle East come down to religion. Rather than perpetuating the problem, we should be educating the children to understand why religion isn't necessary; you can take responsibility for your own actions, and not foist them off on the will of some 'superior' being. Religion has been used FOR TOO LONG as a tool to control the ignorant. -- ...[rlgvax, ritcv]!ccieng5!ccieng2!bwm
