Oh that’s right, they can’t bother to get out from behind their computer screen to try to change things.

I'm going to march right down to the local government school and demand that they suffuse the curriculum with Catholic doctrine.

Obviously this is impossible, since not all children are Catholic, and this would violate the parental rights of non-Catholic parents.

Similarly, imposing a godless curriculum on children, 90% of whose parents believe in God, according to Gallup, is equally a violation of parental rights.

Government schools are antithetical to education --not schooling-- education, because they undermine parental authority. Parents have the God-given right to be their children's primary educators.

You claim to be a Catholic. Look it up.

Government schooling began as a socialistic experiment, and has remained so, with fascistic elements waxing and waning.

If you want to learn the truth about American schooling, read The Underground History of American Education, by John Gatto, the 1990 NY State Teacher of the Year. It's available to read on-line for free, and it the result of 10 years of historical research.

You should take a look at the Common Core 7th grade social studies curriculum. Three weeks, so far, spent on The Catholic Church. You’d be amazed what is being taught. As a Catholic, and you can kiss my ass questioning that, I’m appalled by what is being taught in public school 7th grade history class about the Catholic Church. Yet, I don’t see too many Catholics protesting that, lol. Or any historians protesting the misinformation.

KMA. I don’t need to “learn the truth about public education” as I wrote a paper on it in grad school in the 80s. Where were all the “conservatives” then protesting what was happening, had been happening, to the public education system (and Catholic and private) back then? Were they all just fine with the liberal, marxist takeover that started back in the 50’s? Appears so.

Check out the Catholic School Curriculum for NJ and it aligns with the public school curriculum. Guess you think Catholic Schools are antithetical to education too.

It’s so much nicer and more convenient to blast it on a message board than actually doing something about it.
