Quote by: ItsDarts  I may be wrong, but I think the point of this thread is WHY is a public school, using a clearly religious belief (that has no real evidence of occurance) as a math problem, not to mention, its poorly cited since you can't multiply 5 items of one object with 2 items of another, it doesn't make sense, you still have 5 loaves and 2 fish.
I'll bet $100 that they aren't asking questions like What do you get when you take the Prophet Mohamed and ADD a 9 year old girl named Aisha?(sp?) :) |
Excellent comment.
Where does the education material come from? I think we should all write to the source and write to the school pointing out that not only can the lesson be precieved as offensive introduction of religion into the school, but it is also a bad lesson in logic. Do we can enough to do that, or are satisfied with just complaining? In a democracy it is our responsibility to take action you know. That is what our liberty is about.
Maryjane can you provide us with the address of the source of this very bad math lesson, and the address of the school. Let us experience the power of the Internet and the power of democracy, and the meaning of majority rule as the rule of best reason, as opposed to autocratic rule, which may or may not be good reasoning, but can not be changed by the people.
I am disappointed by the subject of the thread, because there is magic in math that helps us better understand reality, and I was hoping this was the subject of the thread. That would have been positive.
