There should be two different classes, teach the kids whatever they want to believe, and they should have a choice..

I'm kind of new 'round here, and sure don't want to pick a fight, but do you realize what you just said?

What if I want to believe that 2 + 2 = 6? Or that Pi can properly be expressed as 3? Or that the revolutionary war was fought by midgets in full pirate regalia? Does this mean they should create a class that caters to my (obviously flawed) beliefs?

School is meant to broaden your horizons and educate you with the most accurate knowledge currently available, not further wrap you in a cocoon of blissful ignorance.
