Getting a bit tired tonight? Cranky? Can't quite get a grip on what I said?
Too bad you do not have the insight to realize that the kids in school are smart enough to figure out what the book is about and the fact that it was written a VERY long time ago and that is how things were back then.
It's called e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n. You remember, that history stuff. Facts and all that. Perhaps YOU should go back to high school...

I agree with you on a personal level,,,however,,,do you have enough confidence in your personal educational philosophy that you would impose it on other people's children by threats of force. Would you force others to pay for your personal educational philosophy? I certainly do not have that confidence.
Education can **never**be politically, culturally, or religiously neutral, either in content or consequences. That is why government should **never**be in the education business.
Government owns and runs schools that are **compulsory** for all those without an alternative. Government compulsion means police, court, and foster care action against those who refuse to attend. It also means police and court action against those who refuse to pay for a non-neutral political, cultural, and religious government school agenda.( indoctrination).
Government schools are an abomination because they deeply offend the freedom of conscious of the taxpaying citizen and the students ( and their parents) who are compelled by police threat to attend them. If our Founding Fathers could have imagined the government schools of today they would have included freedom from government education in our Bill of Right.
freedom of conscious
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That should be: conscience.
