No. I call 'em like I see 'em. Come on over to politics and other controversies and you will see what I mean.

I'm not going to address your ridiculous statements about Christian Fundamentalists. I will however, focus on your accurate statement that TOK asks students in a SECULAR PUBLIC SCHOOL to JUSTIFY their beliefs. As shown to you on a previous page, IB insists that IB teachers infuse every course with TOK.

What right does a PUBLIC SCHOOL have to force students to justify their religious beliefs and be subjected to grading as to how well they justify them? Frankly, I find that absolutely outrageous and UNConstitutional.

And before you say, "No one is FORCING them to take IB", let me state that TOK is a MANDATORY Core component of the full IB Diploma, the only IB "programme" that has a tiny thread of credibility.
