The court made it perfectly clear: the school system has a duty to prevent children from adhering to their parents' beliefs.

Talk about spin! The decision reiterated that public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs. If the parents don't like it, they always have the option of private school.

"public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs"

I'm confused. Which particular religious beliefs were they trying to promote?

Or even, like, discussing what they believe, and why, with their children over dinner.

OH give me a break.

Lots of parents can't afford private school.

Teaching evolution is teaching religion, in my view.

JUNIOR WROTE: "The decision reiterated that public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs. If the parents don't like it, they always have the option of private school."

Oh, really? And are we to understand that those who can barely get by paycheck to paycheck every month can have YOU pay for their child(ren) to attend the private school of their choice, religious or otherwise?

Please provide your actual name and address here so they can know who to send the private school bill to.

BTW, evolution (aka atheism) is a religion itself, but somehow, you seem to think indoctrinating/brainwashing children with that religion is okay.

To borrow a phrase from The Fox News Channel, let's have schools report (i.e. present both/all sides) and let the children (and their parents) decide!

"If the parents don't like it, they always have the option of private school."

Spoken like a true liberal: government takes your money, educates your kids any way they want, then - when it goes against the values you are trying to instill in your children - expects you to come up with the extra thousands to put them into a private school. The fallacy of your argument is that probably most parents - due to financial reasons - do not "have the option of private school."
