That a child that died when it was 3 is still there in "angel" form looking after it's 26 year old sister. This kind of drivvel is in no qualitative way different from the latest incarnation of the primitive ignorant ramblings of itinerent bronze age tribesmen which the superstitious amongst us are once again trying to stuff down peoples throats under the pretext that it's a "scientific" theory and therefore worthy of inclusion in schools.

It isn't and it isnt. No matter how many ignorami choose to believe it. So no. Once again, it has no place in an institution of public education. Except perhaps as an object of ridicule.
