I never said any such stupid thing.

He doesn't get to skip math class either
--even if his parent thinks it's the Devil's tool.

The kids who skip class already do so without
consequence. Public schools are funded by the daily
body count; they're complicit in down-playing truancy,
keeping bogus attendance records to maximize their
funding.

These, however, are not the few religious-minded kids
you've obsessively fixated on. No, the kids who skip, and
fail, and falter in life are inner-city kids. The one who
need schooling most. And public schools let them. And
that's a crime.


Now, if anti-mathematics is obviously not acceptable,
explain how the anti-science hocus-pocus is acceptable.

The answer to things you disagree with is NOT *less* discussion.
State your arguments against the points you think are bogus
--to your kid and to the world at large.
If he finds more truth in that than what he gets elsewhere,
so be it--but Fahrenheit 451 is NOT the answer.
(Again: Reference the Sleeping Beauty story.)

You're arguing with yourself. I never said any of that drivel.

Best wishes,
