For one I never said teach them stem cell research. I said they need the basic science classes they are supposed to be teaching so they have at least a basic understanding of what's really going on with things like stem cell research and cloning.
I got your point about teaching a trade and I don't disagree with it. What I have a problem is that your post came off as if you think that kids shouldn't bother to learn advanced math or sciences. That I think is a shame. If those classes aren't taught in schools where will our scientists come from, some other country??
My whole point is that the schools should be equal. I should be able to get the same education in Beverly Hills that they do in a ghetto. Education isn't a right in the country, its a requirement. If you want to talk about how you fund it, fine cut some of the fat off the defense budget that ought to pay for it.
