Condoms for teen agers

[DuncanONeil]

Perhaps, but I think you're feeding those assumptions.

As I stated in one of the recent messages before this one I am most certain I have not advocated for all subjects to be taught from the basis of theology. Such was not the case when I attended St. Benedict's Grammar and High School and need not be so in any school today.

Think not?

Read most of the article. Had some agreements and some disagreements. I believe there was more to the Hutchinson case than the simple blurb in the article. The is a vague recolection of hearing or reading about it recently.

And this was just one of many instances where the TBoE has been trashing proper schooling by forcing their conservative religious beliefs to be taught in PUBLIC schools. Separation of church and state? Not in Texas!

This is where I think we may have some serious differences. I can find on assertion of a total separation of church and state in the Constitution, First Amendment notwithstanding. Yes I am aware of what Jefferson said in other sources but much like a law we must deal with what is on paper. In the above referenced article there was reference to the Declaration. The language implied that the Declaration is to have no place in the Pantheon of Founding Documents. I would have to take exception. The Declaration is the source document that presents the grievance and the proposed solution and as such is the basis upon all that follows occurs.
