Reminds me of when I had my kids put a radiator into a car while I went to work. My oldest was home from college and his two teen siblings were there. I set the car up safely, gave them the manual and went to my summer job. When I got home, they had done a great job. My, now ex, wife asked, sort of snootily, "Want to know what your 14-year-old daughter learned today?" I said yes. My daughter, the youngest, then pointed at items and said, "That's a son of a bitch and that's a mother fucker." Too which I replied, "You really are getting the hang of this auto repair stuff."

Some would say that monks kept the libraries up and running during the "Dark Ages," however, much thought and mathematics, and astronomy was going on elsewhere in the world - trying to avoid being Eurocentric. One could even blame religion for falling into the "Dark Ages" in Europe.

This Supreme Court Case Could Take a 'Wrecking Ball' to Separation of Church and State

This was decided a long time ago. We studied this in an education class when I was in college. Ironically, one of the cases that preceded the big one was from a city/state (forget the details) that feared the collapse of Catholic schools and the onerous burden that would befall the public system. The government wanted to pay the Catholic school teachers; the church fought against that fearing the government would push itself into their curriculum. Maybe Maine needs to set rules for ALL schools mandatory curriculum, for schools taking government funds, if this shit passes.
