I am concerned about the education that my children are getting in public school.
For example, the children are taught unequivocally that the earth is round.
There are a lot of people that believe, instead, that the earth is flat. Isn't it unfair that their viewpoint is being treated with such disdain? Why is it that we have this value judgment in place where we will teach one set of beliefs and not the other? It is culturocentric for us to presume to teach only one side of this controversial topic.
Where are the discussions about the cultures that dissent on this issue? Where are the alternative map views?
It is all about giving fair time to different perspectives. Isn't it?

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.
