By the way, one of the issues I have hinted at, but not elaborated, is the way that school can be subversive of parental authority. Suppose that there is a strong conflict between what one has learned at home, and what is promulgated at school. Then the student is merely confused, or the school loses respect, because it is teaching nonsense, or the parents come to seem like uneducated rubes who need not be listened to. Although conflict is not always avoidable, it is advisable that one try to moderate the tension. Liberal democracy, in order to succeed, depends on a truce about how we raise our children. Parental authority ought not be lightly challenged. That is one of the problems with the way the evolution issue is framed: there is no sensitivity shown for the fundamentalist parents who have to explain the contradiction of teachings to their children. Anyway, "education" which is ineffectual and furthers the disrespect for either schools or parents generally does more harm than good.........
