You've sold me.

Now, which religious world-view should I include in my math classroom? Catholic? Mormon? Jewish? Baptist? Muslim? Do we venerate the Dali Lama?

As a teacher, I try to model and encourage values that we'd all like to see in children: honesty, kindness, gratitude, respect... teaching the path to heaven is a duty of parents, not teachers.

Much better than saying what I was thinking. I hope it shuts him/ her up, at least for a minute.

It is impossible for government to provide a religiously neutral education. The solution is to move toward vouchers and tax credits and then on to complete privatization.

The religious worldview that teachers in government **CHOOSE** to force upon their students is GODLESSNESS. No one is holding a gun to these teachers heads forcing them to support, uphold, and establish socialist-entitlement and godless government schooling.

No teacher's classroom is religiously neutral because a religious neutrality education is impossible. Godlessness is no more religiously neutral than a God-centered one in content or consequences.
