Disclaimer: I'm not a parent. Doesn't this parent think about her children's education and our educational system if we relied on all parents to teach their kids about our history? I don't remember my parents protecting me from horrible moments in our past.
I'm also so frustrated with McCain and all of the hypocrisy. Since I am one of the cynical few who think McCain will win this because the American people are too stupid - I was pleased to see that Obama is starting to hit back. I especially like Obama's comment:
"Enough," Obama declared yesterday while campaigning in Norfolk, Va. "I don't care what they say about me. But I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and Swift boat politics. Enough is enough."
Lipstick on a pig? This is what pisses me off about McCain and the media (this is fresh on my mind because Jon Stewart did a piece on this the other night) - McCain used the same quote to describe Hillary Clinton's health care policy. They cried out when Clinton's campaign cried sexism when questioned by Obama's campaign or the media. Yet, they are doing the exact same thing.
I guess I'm in a mood today. I nearly throttled the Rite-Aid pharmacist.

I bet she'd be cool with teachers pushing religion on the entire class. As a parent, I want my kids challenged, taught to think critically, and to understand the world around them. Chances are a teacher or two (or more likely the curriculum) along the way is going to piss me off. But I view that as a parenting opportunity, a chance to explain to my kids why I disagree, not a chance to bitch and moan. Teachers have a hard enough time without jackass parents thinking every little thing is an attack on their beliefs. Of course, my kids are going to Catholic school. Get back to me and see if I'm as laid back when the girls start bringing home anti-abortion pamphlets.
