I'm not sure how many of you are aware that it exists, I would imagine some of you already do, but its fantastic. Check out this link, and read about their goals. Atheism being promoted to kids!!! I wish something like this was available to me as a child.

This is great !
Wish they had one of these in Ireland. I would love to send my little brother to it.
Yeah, and it looks great.
Apparently, every year, they challenge the kids to attempt to disprove the existance of a supposed inadudible, invisible, intangible unicorn to exercise their critical thinking skills. I believe it starts for kids at age 8 and above. Probably because that's about the age when kids begin to recognize the absurdity of Santa and other myths, but rarely is the process that allows them to recognize such a ridiculous claim sharpened or clarified (logic). I think its wonderful.
