Exclamations, not questions. Tags | Authors | Callings
Now, whether your child attends this type of school or not, it is important that you stay close to your children, daily review, if possible, what they have learned in school, and go over their textbooks. President Joseph Fielding Smith has stated that in public schools you can not get a textbook, anywhere that he knows of, on the 'ologies' that doesn't contain nonsense. I know one noble father who reviews with his children regularly what they have been taught; and if they have been taught any falsehoods, then the children and the father together research out the truth. If your children are required to put down on exams the falsehoods that have been taught, then perhaps they can follow President Joseph Fielding Smith's counsel of prefacing their answer with the words 'teacher says,' or they might say 'you taught' or 'the textbook states.' If your children are taught untruths on evolution in the public schools or even in our Church schools, provide them with a copy of President Joseph Fielding Smith's excellent rebuttal in his book Man, His Origin and Destiny.
- Ezra Taft Benson (Apostle)
