1) the people i know who went to catholic school were beaten by nuns. on the other hand, they were better educated, academically, maybe not socially.
2) there are very good, historically proven reason for the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
3) does anyone have any constructive ideas instead of name-calling and saying what's wrong with everything?

.......i am curious, if you could have it YOUR way, what would that be?
because i don't think that we all agree. in a public forum , like schools, we must compromise and find a common ground.
some things, like religion, are personal choices. probably the biggest differences i can think of are evolution vs. creationism and forms of sex eduacation and health. i can understand the dilema if your religion teaches something and your school teaches something else, what else do you think the "liberal" education system is teaching your children that you don't agree with?

Spare the rod and spoil the child is not just the province of Nuns. "Beaten"? Perhaps a bit of hyperbole?

Show me where public schools are compromising vis-a-vis issues that never used to get them so worked up....like Christmas (AKA "Winter Holiday")
