This article plainly illustrates that K-12 education is NEVER religiously neutral. This is true everywhere in the world.

Educating children is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER religiously neutral. And,,,that is why government should NEVER be in the education business!

The government schools in the U.S. are not religiously neutral either, yet, children are FORCED into government schools by threat of armed police action and prison. Once in the government school, their religion is attacked by the curriculum, the teachers, and the culture of the other students.

For instance, there are Christian and non-Christian religions in the U.S. that promote modesty in their youth. Some ask their youth not to have tattoos, and multiple earrings or other piercing. Some request that children have clothing with sleeves, and that their shorts and/or skirts not be shorter than their knee. Some religions have restrictions on foods such as coffee, tea, or pork, and some require that their food be specially blessed. Some religions counsel against crude speech, and music, and taking the Lord's name in vain.

Yet,,,immature children are FORCED into government schools, and then tempted on every side by the music, dress, speech, and curriculum that works to destroy the traditions taught by their parents. Government schools forcing children into this emotionally conflictingly environment are guilty of CHILD ABUSE!

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.

Would there be Muslim schools teaching hatred of the U.S. and Israel. Yes, there would be, but at least we would know who these people are, and we as a society could more effectively monitor them. And,,,we would be preserving for all citizens their freedom of conscience and respect for human rights.

Government schools are freedom of conscience and First Amendment abomination!

[Principled]

Educating children is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER religiously neutral. And,,,that is why government should NEVER be in the education business!

Friendly amendment...

Educating children is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER religiously neutral. And,,,that is just one of the millions of reasons government should NEVER be in the education business!
