Are you suggesting standards, so that high school graduates would have an understanding about such things as evolution?
I'm just suggesting that both David Horn and myself would choose schools based on nonpartisan academic excellence for our own kids. For me that would mean a school that taught evolution, and I presume it would be for David as well.
Eric would be free to continue to send his kids to schools that like my public schools push his politically progressive belief structure, if he preferred.
I don't know what "progressive beliefs" MA is pushing, if that's not "evolution" and such as Wonkette implied. But in CA there is no such effort on the part of public schools. At least I haven't seen it, as a recent substitute teacher in them. In the main, "progressive belief structure" is likely to mean willingness to learn and teach the facts and the truth; certainly not neo-liberal doctrine.
