2) It's almost absurd to ask if I'm 'against Hebrew schools'... I am for school choice and if Jewish parents choose a school to teach the Jewish faith, fine.
Well then, what the heck are you recommending that we teach in public schools? That is the issue. Not what is taught at home or in religious schools or in churchs or temples. What do you teach when you have a population that include non-Christians, and is supported by the tax dollars of Christians and non-Christians alike? What are you saying in real-life practical terms? And don't give me the "Christian nation" thing. Of course most of the founders were Christian. What the heck does that have to do with this issue?

I have already given 2 practical propossals:
1) The ultimate local control is parental choice.
Each state should take their funding portion and give it directly to the parents to use for educational purposes as they wish, either public schools, private schools, charter public schools, etc. It would be irresponsible and wrong to force secularism on religious families as it would to force a particular religion on an irreligous one. Therefore, the system must include religious schools to be truly fair and equal. This amount in most states would be between $2500 and $4500, enough to pay for many schools.
Different public school districts can compete for students.
Local school boards should also augment those vouchers.
2) the teaching of religion even in public schools is possible without state funding, as follows: Let religious groups set up after-school religious education programs.
I noticed you havent commented on it, but it is certainly both a practical and non-threatening way to allow for religious instruction while maintaining 1st amendment freedom to worship.
3) I am recommending we teach more in public schools, they are woefully inadequate on many levels due to the grip of the educrat elites pushing PC rather than excellence and its monopoly status that prevent improvements.
