[quote=Anonymous]I found out that one of my DD's friends is now going to Baptist private school because her parents wanted to put their kids in a more religious environment.  And though I want to support this, I can't because this child is a smart, scientific child and has the opportunity to be in one of the best schools in the country if she was taught science isn't evil.

Let's be clear: her mom has commented to me  how she chose God over money (I am a female engineer) and doesn't like her kids talking about science. She told me that in the Baptist school they teach more history and geography than in the highly regarded elementary school and I just stood there dumbfounded. This girl is smart. Reads voraciously and understands how things work. her mom has stated to me that she chose being a SAHM to put her children in the path of God, but she is going back to work because they need the money for private religious school.

And college- well, when I mentioned that going to the school we are zoned for is better than the private school, she scuttled away like- "My kids won't be going to college to learn your witchcraft."

I know that people are going to hate this post- but I just need to vent so that I can remain civilized the next time I see her.

....

Nah. I'm going to give her kids books about female scientists and teach them evolution anyway. [/quote]
