Re: ...”yours ( meaning me) is a position that is fully supported by Grand Ayatollah Sistani.”
If anything it is the government school defenders who **are** the Ayatollahs!
Government school defenders are the people who defend a system of schooling that **FORCES** their religious worldview ( godless) on CAPTIVE kids! And...It is the government school defenders who defend FORCING their neighbors to fund their anointed religious and NON-neutral godless worldview.
Shame on these government school defending **BULLIES**!
It is those who are calling for complete privatization of all schooling who are defending CHOICE , and freedom. Let parents decide what religious worldview is best suited to their family's values and beliefs whether those beliefs are godless or God-centered.
Yeah! I am shouting. I am sorry but is it possible that you are deaf? I believed that I was very plain in my arguments in my previous posts and I know that a government school defender would never ( oh! never! ) deliberately misunderstand then totally distort an opponent's plainly stated arguments. I hope this clears things up for you.
So, let me understand this. I have NO problem with the current system of allowing parents the choice of sending their children to public schools, religious school, private schools, charter schools, or home schooling. Your position is the “complete privatization of all schooling”. You claim that this is the position of CHOICE (your caps), and freedom. How is your position taking away my ability to choose the method of schooling for my children the position of CHOICE, and freedom? If you don’t like the public school system, you currently have the freedom not to use it. However, don’t take a position that curtails my right to use the method I think best and call if CHOICE, and freedom.
Your characterization of the public schools position of leaving religion out of the schools as being an “anointed religious” position is very interesting. To quote Inigo Montoya from “Princess Bride” – I do not think it means what you think it means” Seriously, to take a non-religious position and call it an anointed religious position?
By the way – not deaf. There’s a little tinnitus in the left ear that I blame on not using ear protection at the range when I was younger, but my hearing is adequate.
