"The 'Christian' Dogma Pushed by Religious Schools That Are Supported by Your Tax Dollars":
Religious schools across the nation are receiving public funds through voucher and corporate tax credit programs. Many hundreds, if not thousands, of these schools use Protestant fundamentalist textbooks that teach not only creationism, but also a religious supremacist worldview. They offer a shocking spin on politics, history and human rights.
The textbook content quoted in the article is extreme and scary, but some of it is just hilariously loopy:
The worldview of these textbook publishers impact areas you might not suspect, including choosing phonics over whole language reading instruction and rejecting the teaching of set theory in mathematics, both on religious grounds. The A Beka publishers advertise the math curriculum as, “A Beka Book provides attractive, legible, workable traditional mathematics texts that are not burdened with modern theories such as set theory."

    I didn't know set theory was blasphemous.

  2. Set is the Egyptian (i.e., Pagan/evil) god of darkness and chaos, of course.
