I can see why you would want to separate broadcast engineering from IT support but one risk is you end up with a corporate IT dept who don't understand broadcast: "oh sure we'll fix that in 24 hours." "but I'm on air NOW." "yeah but you see the sla....". As the line between IT equipment and broadcast critical equipment (and networks) is ever more blurred having everyone understand the nature of the broadcast environment is really important Been there in the BBC. It ain't fun when you're on air, the playout system is down and IT stick to a eight hour response.

"Public education, science education in particular, should not mention gods at all."

I almost entirely disagree with you. You're right that science education shouldn't mention deities at all, just as sport, woodwork and food probably shouldn't be touching on theology, faith and belief or morals and ethics. But to suggest that children shouldn't be educated about religion at all, something that profoundly affects the lives of the overwhelming majority of the planet's population, is just plain stupid.

I'm not talking about preaching... I'm talking about teaching religion/s as a subject. That's a very different and perfectly sensible proposition.
