For heaven's sake, legislators, what is an education for? Is it not to equip our youth to think for themselves? Is not education's purpose to build knowledge? Exploration of new ideas broadens horizons, leading to wisdom and enlightenment. Exploration of ideas is an especially useful tool in a society like Oklahoma's where (it seems) a majority of the citizens are wary of change. Change can be threatening, but exposure to divergent views is necessary for the creation of an educated forward thinking citizenry.
