So is she saying that ALL non-”scholarly” related events at school shouldn’t happen during school hours? Or just the ones she doesn’t agree with?

Oh yes, and dont forget about DARE events during school time. Who needs to learn about not using drugs during school time? Afterall, we are supposed to be just learning our ABC’s.

Read my comments about scholarly events over on Crystal’s blog. If I understand what Crystal is saying she is talking about how we shouldn’t have prayer in school or teach ‘intelligent creation’.

Actually Aldon, you are not understanding what I wrote. You seem to have taken it further in a whole new direction! This comment here also seems very different than the one you left on my blog. I must go back and read it again! I am quite curious as to how you came to your understanding. Some were able to understand my points and not distort them, some did not agree with my points and did not distort them, and some readers appeared to have no sense of critical thinking and were not able to comment or express anything beyond a very limited,literal and concrete understanding. My post, which has generated a lot of comments from all different points of view, was about value judgements within the whole realm of the educational system and consequences of choices and decisions by the system. I never even touched upon prayer or evolution! The post was meant to generate discussion and thought. I think it was successful in that regard, don’t you! Oh and Eskimo, the data available on the DARE program show it to be a dismal failure. It may be politically correct and a nice touchy feely experience for all involved but it does little with regards to achieving stated objectives.
