I agree in large part with Paul's remarks concerning value systems being taught in schools. Actually, I think most teachers are still conventionally religious. The big "humanist" or "liberal" push comes from academic types who design curricula and pass it down the line. In fact, I think the whole creationist movement is a reaction to things like MACOS (Man A Course of Study) which pushed a definite value system, from what little I know of it. I can't really blame religious people for becoming alarmed at this trend. Creationism is a curricular "Battle of the Bulge". I'm putting a few remarks concerning Paul's observations about critical thinking and the supposed degradation of schools today in net.kids. Lew Mammel, Jr. ihnp4!ihuxr!lew
