Schools should be secular, I pay for it, it would be offensive to my beliefs if my children were taught that creationism were taught as science, I have my own belief systems, and therefore I will teach my children those beliefs myself. I do NOT want the schools even admitting that there is a god, but I also do NOT want them saying there is NO god either.

Your mistake is assuming that there can be any neutral ground on God. There isn't any. One's belief on God is the basis FOR ALL SCIENTIFIC BELIEFS. It is the basis for ALL MORAL BELIEF. It is the basis for everything one believes in life and dictates one's lifestyle and behavior even.

No mistake about it, I DO NOT WANT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACHING ABOUT GOD!! Period.

Why you would want them to is beyond me, but it is NONE of the schools business. The schools job is to instill knowledge and thinking skills. NOT to teach religion.

Why in the world would you want the public schools teaching your children about religion? I don't want them to go near that. I will teach my children what my beliefs are, thank you very much, just as you should teach your own children your beliefs.

The schools are not there to teach about god, morality, or anything else, your children are supposed to know that already, from YOU!! Otherewise, you are NOT doing your job as a parent.

It is NOT the schools job to instill those into your children, it is your job. The school has a very basic function, to TEACH knowledge and thinking skills, that's it, that's all, there ain't no more.

Too bad that they aren't even doing that, but imagine if they taught religion as badly as they are teaching what they already are.

Come on, you CANNOT seriously think that the school would do a better job of instilling morality and the belief in YOUR god then you can. Can you?

Then let's NOT even go there.

Fact is that a lot of the textbooks are outdated, the schools and the states have wasted SO much money, that there is hardly any money left to teach. I would rather just shut the damn things down, I think that they are useless, except for making sheeple, they quit instilling knowledge a long time ago, now they just indoctrinate with a bunch of silly nonsense, and in order to pass the tests now, they are dumbing down the tests, instead of bringing the knowledge of the children up.

No, they are screwed up enough, I don't want them involved in anything else. Teach the facts, stay religious neutral and cross our fingers and hope to god that the kids that come out have some marketable skill, or can at least think a little bit.
