In a north Georgia town, the high school football team used to run through banners at the start of each game inscribed with Bible verses. The superintendent just discontinued this practice after being advised that it was, ahem, illegal.

Traditional higher education's days are numbered, according to this article. My response is, basically, "says you." I don't see a lot of evidence here.

From the piece: "1. Recognize that knowing a lot of stuff won't do you much good unless you can do something with what you know by turning it into an argument. 2. Pay close attention to what others are saying and writing and then summarize their arguments and assumptions in a recognizable way. Work especially on summarizing the views that go most against your own. 3. As you summarize, look not only for the thesis of an argument, but for who or what provoked it -- the points of controversy. 4. Use these summaries to motivate what you say and to indicate why it needs saying. Don't be afraid to give your own opinion, especially if you can back it up with reasons and evidence, but don't disagree with anything without carefully summarizing it first... [T]he better you get at entering the conversation by summarizing it and putting in your own oar, the more you'll get out of your college education."

From the post: "School is the place kids go to learn the stuff they need to pass all of the tests, not the place that they go to engage the diversity and complexity and beauty of the world. If we cannot offer our students wide ranging opportunities to examine the world from many sides and teach them how to do that with rigor and respect, then we subvert the very idea of school."

In this case, two divorced parents disagreed about whether their ten-year-old daughter ought to be home-schooled. The non-custodial parent, the father, said no; the mother, who is extremely religious, said yes. The court sided with the father after a counselor determined that the girl was too "rigid" in "matters of faith." An interesting and complicated case. The ADF includes links to PDF versions of several legal documents.
