Had this been a student pointing out a liberal bias in a textbook, I venture to guess most posters here would be supportive.

I think the point being missed here is that the student is actually taking this much of an interest.......but that’s just me.

I like how the activist who founded the inquiry group was FOR secularism and FOR investigating the paranormal.

So Christians are superstious but let’s by all means look for all other sort of metaphysical explanations for the world around us.

I tend to agree. I like the fact that the student is actually thinking about what is in his textbook, rather than mindlessly accepting it all.

I don't want students mindlessly accepting everything at school, whether it comes from a conservative or liberal perspective -- that's just brainwashing, not teaching.

Later the article reveals:

“It’s not the first time LaClair has raised alarm bells over teaching at his school. A few years ago, he tape recorded a teacher making religious remarks to his students. Many people at the school were upset with LaClair for raising the issue.”

This jerk is just training to be another obnoxious communist activist, he should not be encouraged.
