Anyone who proposes that "christians" have more influence on what is 
taught in our schools should remember that the Catholics (until the mid 
70's) used to beat left handed children and force them to write right 
handed.

Please keep in mind that some of the Rev. Foulwell's associates used 
electordes attached to seats in their sunday school classes to 
discipline children. This practice was discontinued after a lawsuit was 
filed.

These are two very good examples of how "rational" and caring our 
"christian" brothers are. They are also two good examples of why these 
people should be prevented from exercising their influence on the 
educational process to the exclusion of other more level headed 
approaches.
