Freedom is nice, and freedom of religion used to be a big deal to the founding fathers. But we have much better answers now. Not that I want to impose beliefs on anyone, but we require that public school be imposed on children (or at least state certified private school). So there is precedence for imposing education on people. Why do we allow people to go on believing in their various mythologies UNCHALLENGED, when it really matters, but force geography on young minds? I suggest a "Mythologies of the World" class, because it matters, where children can learn about all the religions people have invented. Then send them to science class for our CURRENT best guess as to what the hell is going on.
