1. Beheading
The public school system creates an environment where the airing of the beheading of Nick Berg is possible. We are all aware of the public school teachers from New Jersey to California who showed the video to their classmates. I tried a Google search for Judaeo-Christian private schools whose teachers showed the video and found none (please let me know if you do find one). The El Capitan high school teacher declared to his students “That's why we should not be at war.” The America bashing and the resulting “America as the root of all evil” philosophy that is so prevalent among the liberal education establishment lends itself to this type of extremely poor judgement.

2.Koran reading in school
Federal Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled in favor of public school students memorizing and reciting prayers to Allah, the same words pronounced over Paul Johnson and Nick Berg as they were beheaded. Please cite one example where a contemporary federal judge permitted the memorization and recitation of “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed on us in Christ, every spiritual blessing in the heavens.”

3.Morality and Politics
Public school institutions encourage a morality in our nation's children that is not acceptable to most Jewish and Christian parents. An acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle is encouraged: children in my school district cannot even make any statement opposing the homosexual lifestyle on school grounds without risk of expulsion. I am not speaking here of bashing homosexuals: simply opposing the lifestyle. But positive talk of that lifestyle is encouraged and praised as “tolerance”. Speaking against the homosexual lifestyle on school grounds is considered a hate crime, but bullying is not. The attitude toward sex and abortion in the public school system is far more liberal than the children encounter in church and at home. So parents and pastors spend much time fighting that influence. It is no mistake that most public school students graduate as “good little liberals”: conservative politics are disdained. In our district four years ago, one small child came home crying because her parents were going to vote for Bush and the teacher said that if the parents vote for Bush, all of the animals and trees will die.

Now you're giving us some evidence, instead of asking to be taken on faith; but a few bad examples out of thousands of schools don't prove very much about the schools as a whole.

Incidentally, are you arguing (item 3) that Madrassas are a hotbed of gay rights? Somehow, I don't think they are.
