He was very clear before he ever started. Said I can tell you the anatomy and the physiology, what parts are and how they work. You need to talk to your parents about everything else. He drew the line very clearly and diverted questions (even from the “tough kids”) that moved into morality.

A wise teacher whom I can totally respect.
I have yet to see a coherent argument against this crucial role of parents; other than the circularly reasoned (and self-serving) argument that "many" parents fail to address the topic.

If that view of parents' role in society makes any sense, might as well have the nanny state start feeding our kids, clothing them, sheltering them and providing needed health care... ... wait.

...never mind...

You should have heard him on evolution. He laid out a scenario where he ran Genesis along side the fossil record and said our problem may be that we define the days of creation by OUR definition of a day and we neglect that God may have had a different definition of time.

He was without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had.
