well, at the school i went to, it'd be extremely difficult for anyone to
get past kindergarten without being able to read...  too bad the rest of
the country can't figure out that schools should be teaching stuff that
really matters instead of trying to get kids to believe in evolution... i
thought the supreme court did the whole judicial legislation thingy and
made it illegal to promote any religion (or even pray or have religious
writings in your possession) in a public school...
