Gee, teaching them Latin Hymns and the first 3 verses of "Silent Night" for the annual Christmas Chorus Concert is "godless?" WOW, I never knew.
**teaching children to be comfortable with taking their neighbor's money for socialist tuition-free schooling, ( Hey! Why not lots of “free” goodies?)
Teaching them that government can only acquire funding through taxation, and what that is, and explaining which taxes are "supposed" to go for certain things such as property taxes for education is teaching them about getting "free goodies?" I never knew.
There is much you and I have actually agreed on over the years, but one thing I will never agree with is the absolute broad brush you use in your crusade to have everyone conform to your way of thinking. Your extremism will be your downfall. You do more damage than good with it, just like all extremists.
Gabz....Send me a link.
Also....When did it become a conservative or Christian principle or value to **force** Christianity on other people's children and to **force** taxpayers to pay for it? That's conservative? That's Christian?
Also...It isn't religiously neutral for the Christian children! A few sprinkles of Christmas cheer does not make a godless school into a God-centered one. Chalk one up to “diversity” ( cultures being equal, you see. /s ) Unfortunately, the children risk learning to be casual and lukewarm in their relationship to God. Do you know what Christ does with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth! When did it become a conservative or Christian principle to **force** children into a situation where they risk learning to be lukewarm and casual about their faith, or to **force** taxpayers to pay for this religious abomination?
Socialist K-12 schooling is a tuition-free, entitlement, and socialist goody. Why not use that government power to acquire LOTS of free entitlement goodies? That is the lesson children risk learning when they attend their local socialist school. FDR was not an accident. He was the result of one to three generations of voters learning to be comfortable with socialism by attending compulsory socialist schools.
As for my “extremism”, I have been richly rewarded in personal satisfaction to see my ideas, even my exact wording and phrasing, picked up by the mainstream conservative media. Why? Because it is true.
Personally....I think it is time that our nation's socialist K-12 teachers explain themselves. They need to come up with justifications for why they would support teaching in schools where children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. How could it possibly be otherwise? Maybe you could explain this to me? Why would they hand out textbooks and assignments that support and uphold a godless worldview? Who in their right mind would do that to another parent's child and force taxpayers to pay for it? When did this become conservative or Christian?
Personally...I am at the point that I will not have a teacher from one of our nation's K-12 socialist schools as a friend. Period! Simple! I am done!
But...Gee! Thanks for concern about my downfall. I trust that your concern is genuine.
And...If I am painting with a broad brush send me links to government owned and run K-12 schools that are God-centered (that means every minute of every school day, because that is the very definition of God-centered!). Send me a link to a government owned and run K-12 school that isn't a socialist entitlement tuition-free goody. I have asked these questions many time. No one has ever sent a link.
