I'll have you know that I teach in a public school and I do a fine job. I am a Christian women and I have not once compromised my beliefs. I have 2 pictures of President Bush in my classroom and had a Bush/Kerry sign on my car and my classroom door. My Bible sits on my desk and I have used Biblical stories many times in my classroom, as have other teachers in my school.
You on the other hand feel perfectly okay with tossing out bombshell statements designed to degrade and humiliate.
Who is the better example for children?

Heehee. Nice use of scarcasm. Yes, I am a teacher too. The ed-libs (who are probably conservative otherwise) like to use liberal tactics (which they rail against) against education for their political purposes. I am glad to hear that there are some "real" folks out there.
I don't flaunt the Bible or religious beliefs as a substitute for reasoned debate.
Since you did, I believe that the parents have ultimate authority over how, and with what materials, their children are educated. If you really read and believe your Bible, you will agree with that statement.
The NEA and their public schools, have advocated that the government (meaning the NEA) has ultimate authority over all children. If you are lobbying your legislature to have the NEA and the other teacher's unions barred from any participation in public education decisions, then you are true to your word.
By the way, Bush and Kerry were on opposite sides in the recent election.
My kids have had great teachers in public school.
Some are definitely better than others.
Their speech therapist has helped them say their Bible verses for church, and helped them with their lines for our church Christmas play.
Unfortunately, we do have a horrible school district, and they are going to close my kids' wonderful school.
"Wow, so you purposely insult every public school teacher on this forum?"
There seems to be a lot of that in this thread?

There's several in this thread that do that. I suspect their closed minds have been out of touch with the school systems so long they no longer have a clue?
