I would agree with this... except that this is where the problem lies. The distinction between reality and fantasy is getting more and more blurred for kids (and uneducated adults).
Science/pseudoscience
Reality/fantasy
Truth/lies (damn lies and statistics)
No wonder people are so terrified about uncertainty that they want to base their lives on "unchanging" dogma.
Don't forget too... many of the kids taken to this park will be home-schooled. For all anyone knows, they are going to be told they are "going to where Jesus lived"!
Sad... very, very sad.
