Accusing parents and educators of indoctrinating their children, while is accurate is probably the wrong way of wording it. Since these parents and educators sincerely believe that their religious views are totally right and seeing instructing them in these beliefs the same to teaching them reading, writing and mathematics. But these same parents and educators are teaching children to blindly accept these dogmas on face value. This needs to be replaced with children being taught critical thinking skills instead, so they can be able to develop their own philosophies.

Note to self: I need to buy Richard Dawkins new book: The Magic of Reality and give some thoughts on it in the forum.
Anyway I believe that if minors (say younger than 13-16) are going to be on the forums, they should be "quarantined" into a minors only sub-forum and not be allowed to view the rest of the forum (which has material which can be inappropriate at times for such young people). However that is just my $0.02
