Bruce, I'm not suggesting that any of these things SHOULD be discussed or included as a part of general curriculum, but when it comes to the best way to teach kids, the more you have to work with the better.

All I'm suggesting is that they shouldn't be banned, so that if, during the course of a lesson the subject comes up, the teacher doesn't have to 'not answer' questions or should dissuade discussion.

Of course, some teachers will abuse the system and use it as their own little soap box, but then there are the teachers who truly wish to give kids something to think about, and maybe expand their horizons a little.

Surely that makes sense to you?
