I think Joy and Whoopie should continue to bring up things that make Elizabeth get all nervous and uptight like today. It was great seeing her squirm and try to debate that children should not be exposed to different religions because it will make their heads explode!!! Actually Elizabeth only yours. Children are smarter then you give them credit. Also I would like to address a pet peeve of mine with Elizabeth, I know there are many, but it makes me so mad when she goes on about how she doesn't want teacher's teaching her young children about their religion, sex education, gay marriage etc. As a teacher I can say that I don't know a single teacher who would willingly, on their own, discuss those things as they would risk their jobs because of backlash from parents and school boards. Teachers also don't feel like it is their place to teach those subject. We have already been burdened by the task of teaching children manners that should be learned at home, why would we want to take on more. Every time she makes that statement I can't help but feel insulted, teaching is a hard and under paid job, but those who do it do it because they love the kids and they love trying to make their lives better by educating them. So just for my own satisfaction I would like to say, "Elizabeth, be quiet and go to time out!"
