Encouraging intelligence in our youth!! Finally!

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.

It sounds like you doubt the Unicorn!
