Quote by: Isherwood  It's simply amazing that anyone would think that they should advocate "protecting" kids from exposure to contrary opinions. I can only think that some people's faith is so shaky they can't even risk exposure to thinking from outside their tiny little box.
Not that I think that's a bad thing. Faith gets shaky just before it crumbles entirely from constantly banging into reality. |
Agreed. If a belief was indeed true and believed to be true, then there would be no risk of exposure to contrary beliefs. There is a reason why Intelligent Design and Literal genesis creationists are so adamantly against teaching Creationism/ID next to other religions' origin stories.
And isn't America the land of choice and freedom? Why should we restrict what people are exposed to in the religious aspect? Shouldn't people be free to choose what they want to believe?
