Well it's not officially ratified yet, but the motion to get these things put on that process of ratification passed like 10-5

Which is, pretty naturally, along party lines

Meh. It's not like school students will care that much.

It's not like we'll morph into big scary fire-breathing republicans.

It's not even about political affiliation - this is actually kind of an attack on the separation of church and state

Soooo....

Taking a more republican stance on textbooks attacks church and state separation?

Well, Thomas Aquinas has a way to "proove" the existance of god, he took everything Aristoteles(dont know how you say it in english) and made it religion.

I actually had a lot of classes that support him in my university(catholic university, its pretty neutral but I study laws so the political and religious trend is really marked here in some teachers), and everything he says is like the bible to smart conservative which find in him reasons to make some of their thoughts which most people consider extreme something acceptable and justified.

I dont think its wrong to teach it to you, but there is a thing that they wont teach you other modern philosofy that may proove him wrong, and Im in the University, Im 19 and already had a "neutral" education at home and my school so people can judge this better, but I dont think its correct to teach him as the truth in schools with little kids.
