One of my friends who doesn't have a television (her choice) and whose kids don't watch TV once had a cultural clash because a therapist who was evaluating her child for early intervention was trying to get him to identify certain Sesame Street characters and (surprise, surprise) the kid didn't know them! This was because the child didn't watch Sesame Street. But the therapist had to adjust his expectations (and his test) to my friend's culture.
So I think the question here needs to be refined to take into account our multicultural society. : ) What do you think would be a fair test? What was the purpose of the test -- to see how influential our mass market culture is on kids vs. religion? Judith ----- Original Message ----- > Where did they find a picture of Jesus?
