Homeschoolers are second class citizens? A school not teaching a particular religion's story of Creation in a SCIENCE class is tantamount to the followers of that religion being relegated to second class status?? Hardley. If you feel that way imagine how the Hindus, Buddists or people that believe in Animism must feel.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you were a huge supporter of home schooling. Sounds like deep down you resent it; table scraps and an old bone and all that. Or at least resent having to sacrifice the time and effort that home schooling parents have to put forth to ensure their children get a good education. Most seem to think it is well worth it. Everyone has to pay taxes that go toward things they don't like yet I don't hear them claiming victim status.
What makes you think that atheists don't homeschool or that the only people that do are Christians? And that all homeschooling Christians use the Bible as their science textbooks?
Yes, I am a huge supporter of homeschooling and don't resent it. However, I certainly can see a condescending attitude when it's presented.
This whole country was funded on Christian principles and they have been a part of American life since it's inception. The founding fathers knew what they were about when the wrote the First Amendment that prohibits the government from establishing a state religion and allows the free exercise thereof, and established the balance of power to try to prevent just what we're seeing today with the misuse of the judiciary.
The only taliban-like behavior is from the ACLU, as its goals of destroying America and eradicating any trace of Christianity are the same as islam's. There's just a different method to their madness. What's alarming is the support the ACLU gets in those goals in the name of *science*.
Removing all traces of religion from public schools IS establishing a religion- that is humanism, or secularism, if you will. Absence of religion is not a neutral position. When there's two sides to an issue, like God vs. no God, there can never be neutral ground. When the ACLU is promoting atheism over Christianity, all the atheists think it's a good thing only because it fits with there world view, but if it went with Christianity, it would be bad because it's favoring one religion over another. They just don't mind when it's THEIR religion that's favored. NEWSFLASH. The public is made up of people. If the public (the people) want their tax money to be used in a certain way to educate the public's (the people's) children, then they should have it as they wish whether a minority of elitst, self-appointed, individuals like it or not.
Yes, but the wishes of the majority should have rule. That's what a representative government is all about; rule of the majority.
What makes you think that atheists don't homeschool or that the only people that do are Christians?
I dont. Where did I ever say that?
And that all homeschooling Christians use the Bible as their science textbooks?
I didn't say that either. Where did you get that idea?
