My wife and I attended her high school reunion last night. I don't have much to say about it on the whole as I did not really know anybody at her high school however, she did relay something to me which I veiwed as a positive.  She attended a Catholic High school, in fact this was a "real" catholic high school. Her first year there was the first year in which girls attended and browsing through the yearbooks there was a disturbing number of preists who served as teachers in a variety of subjects. Not just religion as I would have expected.

Anyway, back to the positive occuraence. Earlier in the day my wife attended a tour of the school and memorial for fellow students and faculty who had passed away. I was happily able to avoid this part of the day. Upon returning to my inlaws house she mentioned that the classroom where religion had been taught for years had been turned into a science classroom. I know this is not the big ending to this post that you may have been expecting but it just kinda made my day.

What was once used for dogma and superstition was now being used for rationalism and truth.
