Which is a shame because the same resources could be used to send the children to this museum.

Some of my greatest weekend trips with my kids involve going to a zoo and museum. Cincinnati has very good ones of both. I am sickened to think that parents are missing out on those opportunities for this. It is an outrage that public schools are participating. Churches are free to bring their kids to these attractions. Why public schools as well? It is insane.
