Small Minded People....

It has been said to never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups..... well, I had a chance to meet one of people today....
So, I went to my daughter's "Mini-schedule night" at her school where she is starting her senior year.  Now Mini-schedule night is to give the parents a birds eye view of what the girls go through on a daily basis during the course of a routine school day and at the same time meet all of the educators that influence and teach our daughters at this fine institution.  This is accomplished by giving the parents a make-shift schedule with 5min classes and 3 minutes to get to each class.  I wish this was available when I went to high school and maybe my parents might have been a little less judgemental on how a teenager's life is soooo easy, which we all know it's not....  "Childhood is what we all spend the rest of our life trying to overcome ".  Anywho, so this guy starts arguing with the teacher during this 5 minute class, which happens to be "WORLD RELIGIONS" about how his daughter should not be oriented  to the hows and why's of the "Buddhist" faith.  Never mind that the Pope himself has endoctrinated this push by the catholic schools of the world to embrace knowledge of other faiths to open up avenues of communication between the Catholic religion and other religions of the world.  Never mind that the school that his daughter attends has enriched the idea of educating not just what needs to be taught but also embracing culture and other modes of thinking.... Smaller school, better indivualized education....  Our school has taken the idea of educating the minds of our young ladies and embraced the idea of broadening their horizons and the way that they think, in order to make them.... A.  Better Catholics, B. better Christians, C. better citizens, and D. better members of society.  My thinking is this.... What an ultra-maroon.... as bugs bunny would say...  I honestly had to laugh at the ridiculousness of what was coming out this guy's mouth....  Some people just should not breed.  but then again, he had to learn this from somewhere....
