@Luigi, there are a lot of stories out there that don't get covered on WOAI that I feel readers of this site should be made aware of. This is one of those, and because it's related to education, I chose both active education related stories on WOAI to post my link. Now, did you check it out? Do you disagree that teaching "white privalege" is a biased and racially based curriculum? I find it truly appalling. Now, did you check out Brooks? I don't live in San Antonio, or even close enough to be familiar with certain aspects of the city. I live out on a ranch out in the boonies west of San Antonio.

How is it possible to be academically sound about a book of stories that stir so much furvor in the general population. Shouldn't it be approached the same way as other British; English Literature classes as well as lessons on other other ancient writings. I do remember when my college professors tried to push their ideals and agendas (from all paarties/angles) on our classes. Smart students have to see through this and remember what G.I. Joe says: Knowing is half the battle. .....yes.

My son is a atheist and I am so glad his friends talked him into going to bible study after school at his school. I couldn't talk him into going to church.

The story says that the content is often skewed to favor a conservative Protestant interpretation of the Bible. This is why we should not teach religion in public schools. I am an Episcopalian and do not want my kids being indoctrinated by religious fundaMENTALists. Keep religion in church and education in the school systems.
