This very readable book details the author's experiences attending a fundamental Christian school from kindergarten through ninth grade. Having attending a fundamentalist school myself, I found her somewhat ironic descriptions of the pledge to the Christian flag, the focus on Jesus in sporting events, creationist science lessons, and endless lectures on the potential harlotry of women spot on.

A great read if you have any experience with Christian fundamentalism or want to know exactly how kids in the fold are educated.… (altro)
