Yeah Blackbeard...vader Junior is down your way in a good red state university with a 3.6 GPA... "It doesn't take a village Hillary - it takes loving parents, faith in God and sacrifice - personal sacrifices!"

Hey, I remember when our biggest worry was whether or not we'd get the kickball at recess. Anyway, I can't say I'm thrilled when I see the Chapel on Wheels parked on the school curb to give enriched Christian education. But I wouldn't be pleased if it were Mormons, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims or Wiccans either. Yes, I agree that they should learn about different religions as a matter of social studies, but any part of the day where kids are separated from one another on the basis of practicing religion doesn't jive with public education as it was intended. They're only in school for six hours a day. I just linked you to the PoliStew blog.
