Sure, why not?

Presuming that the effect of the education is not clearly sinful and does not require sin, then I am of the opinion that an educated people are a blessing. John Adams felt the same way and thought it the duty of government to ensure that we as a people have a common base of knowledge (I believe you can see this in Massachusetts' constitution).

My duty as a parent is to make sure that, regardless of what others in this world teach, state or otherwise, that I give my kiddos the truth.

As always...
