Given that you feel that way, I am certain you would have no objection to the government Taliban forcing your children into madrassas.

Right! And I'd be perfectly fine if teachers were executing students because parents can always teach their children they're not actually dead!

Sheesh. Overreact much? There are lines, obviously. where teachers overstep the boundaries between being a teacher and overtaking parental control. Whether or not they teach your particular version of history isn't one of them, or shouldn't be for rational thinkers. If my children were to come home telling me the earth was only 5000 years old, I'd work with them to dispel them of that notion. If they told me they learned man couldn't possibly have walked on the moon because they would have sunk in to the fine dust, I'd work with them to teach them how to approach that logically. If you disagree, teach your kids otherwise, or homeschool.

Any teacher who teaches from a God-centered worldview has overstepped the bounds of a parent who hold a godless worldview.

Any teacher who teaches his or her curriculum from a godless worldview has overstepped the bounds of any parent who holds a God-centered worldview.

Parents should not be under police threat to submit their children to a government that is working to destroy their religion. ( godless or God-centered).

If our Founding Fathers could see the freedom of conscience monstrosity that is modern government education, they would have put in the First Amendment that government shall not establish government education!

On of my nieces came home from school one day and told my brother that her teacher (elementary or middle school?) told the class that salt water can’t freeze.

He had to “re-educate” her and then he contacted the teacher to “re-educate” him.

Parents need to be aware of what their children are being taught in school and an active advocate for sound education, in any school for that matter, public, private or parochial.

And home school parents should be careful about from where they are getting their curriculum. There are some excellent resources for home schoolers, I understand the Calvert School is one of the best. Parents who want to use sources like Answers In Genesis to teach their children about science are within their rights to do so, but I think they are doing their children a great disservice.
