Let us celebrate opposing the state’s establishment of eduction, the same as we oppose the state’s establishment of religion . . . and for much the same reason.

Let’s see:

State establishment of education = What to think

State establishment of religion = What to think

I think I get where you are coming from.

The authority of the State vs. the authority of religion.

Does the State allow for people to decide for themselves ?

Does religion allow for people to decide for themselves ?

Islam, does not allow for free thought as not all religions are the same.

While I would agree that there are those that take the, “because the bible says so” position, it is a far cry from the brainwashing that your post implies.

I have found both personally and in my research that those that truly understand the nature of Christianity, are the most free to think for themselves.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For **exactly** the same reason.

Why?

Answer: It is impossible to have a religiously, politically, and culturally neutral education. When government establishes schools, it is establishing a government sanctioned religious, political, and cultural worldview.
