I wonder if any of those board members have ever read a book. Any book.

The idea of letting local parents run a school is frankly horrific. The ability to bring a child into the world does not give you expertise in every vocational or academic subject on the curriculum. Letting parents run schools means letting the same people who complained to the principal when I caught their kids copying entire articles from Wikipedia and trying to pass them off as their own, parents whose kids wrote their entire essay as a single paragraph who demanded that their child get an "A". These people are allowed to run schools-really?

Only John 3:16, Leviticus 20:13, the parts of Lot's story dealing with Sodom, and a few select passages from Revelations, though. |

That might be giving them too much credit.

There was a study done fairly recently that found, somewhat confoundingly, that the frequency with which an individual read the Bible was correlated with social liberalism on most issues except for gay marriage and abortion.

I guess, thumbs up for caring? |

That might be giving them too much credit. Someone read out bits of it to them? |

Of course. Why else do they go to church? Because nowhere else would have them? Apart from school boards, unfortunately. |
