>>Gosh. Where did your religious education come from? Mine came from church and family.
I guess it's just easier now to throw off the responsibility for certain elements of education, makes it easier to blame someone else for the ills that follow, I guess.<<
It wouldn't stun me if we look back one day and decide the beginning of the end was when we put the public school teachers union in charge of religious education.

That is part of the beginning of the end. When you look back through history, and read what the founders said about the Bible being taught in a PUBLIC SCHOOL ... you can easily see when they threw it out, why we are in the predicament we are in today.
If kids bother to go to church - they have five days of indoctrination of values/beliefs that are the OPPOSITE of what is taught in the Bible - plus they're tested on it. So kids learn the godless, liberal propaganda.
Can you seriously imagine PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOT having "Gay Pride Day"? Now how could they teach "hate speech" such as where the Bible states this behavior is sinful? You just can't serve two masters. The public schools have long ago made their choice - and they are NOT serving God through their "teachings".
Up in NYC they have the nations first publically funded school just for homosexuals! I don't want to think about what goes on there ... the only consolation I can see is at;east some of them are there and a few less to molest straight kids in other public schools. I see it as outrageous that the public, through tax dollars should PAY for this debauchery.
