i have a problem with my tax dollars being used to fund indoctrination in the form of an education. public dollars should not be used to teach students that evolution is an invalid theory, that the earth is only 6000 years old, that the Bible is the infallible word of G_d. tax money should not be used to underwrite the teachings of fundamentalists, including those within the American taliban, who believe the races - and sexes - should be segregated. let them spew their crap as they have a right to do ... only not using our tax dollars to do so
It seems to me that there ought to be a corollary to Godwin's Law, that treats gratuitous comparisons to the Taliban, Al Quaeda, and Islamist terrorist in general, in the same manner as gratuitous comparisons to Hitler and the Nazis.
It is certainly becoming increasingly common to see Taliban/Al Quaeda/Islamist comparisons being used in exactly the same manner that Hitler/Nazi comparisons have long been used, and in exactly the same manner that Godwin's Law was intended to address regarding Hitler/Nazi comparisons.
