This is the fundamental problem with a public school system--forcing everyone into the same mold.
If education were privatized, as it should be, then you could send your children to a Jewish or secular school, where your own family's values would be reflected and re-inforced, and A. Pole could send his to a traditional Christian school, etc.
What we have right now is the worst of all worlds: a school system where only "values" celebrated are sexual libertinism, anti-Americanism, racial and class consciousness, and materialism.
Exactly. And children educated in such a way, go abroad and demonstrate the new "American" values to the world. I would rather have Lyndie England to know how to pray than to do other unmentionable things.
Private schools would be fine. Why do we have public schools in the first place? Wasn't it so that even the poor could get a rudimentary education? Why does religion or morals have to come into academics at all? Isn't that for your church to handle or do you need it everywhere?
