"The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expenses of it. There should not be a district of one mile square, without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people themselves." -- John Adams

"No money shall be drawn from the treasury, for the benefit of any religious or theological institution." -- Indiana Constitution Article 1, Section 6.

"...no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish enlarge, or affect their civil capacities." – Thomas Jefferson

Questions for the Candidates...#3

Jim Horn, the author of the Schools Matter has a third question for candidates...

Question 3: Competing in the global economy or cooperating in the global ecology?

Gist: A lot has been said about preparing children to "compete in the global economy." Given that the global economy is in jeopardy due to the impending ecological disaster what is the candidate's view of preparing students to cooperate in healing the global ecology?
