While I understand why you feel this way, your plan would effectively remove the few remaining Christian teachers from the public school system. It is easy for you to advocate that people quit their jobs, but some people have family obligations and simply can’t afford to. Some are only a few years away from retirement and you want them to give up what they have worked for for 20 years. I think this legislation and its requirements are so flawed and badly reasoned that there will be no effective way to put it into practice. My kids went to single-sex parochial schools. At the time, that meant that girls went to school with girls, and boys went to school with boys. The term “single-sex” school now has a whole new meaning.

Yes, it would remove Christian teachers from the government schools. For all the reason that I posted, Christian teachers are actually hurting the cause of Christianity. They are NOT advancing Christianity.

If 85% of Christian children from Christian homes leave the faith after graduating from government school, what possible influence could a Christian teacher have on non-Christians. It's like aiming a water pistol at a raging forest fire!

If Christian teachers really wanted to make a difference that would be working to assure that her/his own children and the children of his/her congregation received a thoroughly Christian based education.

If Christian teachers really wanted to make a difference they would be working to SHUT DOWN the government atheistic indoctrination camps ( mis-named "schools") and working to see that every child in the nation had access to a private education.

It is easy for you to advocate that people quit their jobs, but some people have family obligations and simply can’t afford to.

Well..What are these teachers teaching their students? Answer: That a pension and paycheck is more important than Christian truth. They are also teaching their students that Christians do not have faith in God's Providence, or that Christians are too stupid and incompetent to find work in the free market.

Some are only a few years away from retirement and you want them to give up what they have worked for for 20 years.<

These Christian teachers are teaching their students that Christians will sell their principles for a pension.

I think this legislation and its requirements are so flawed and badly reasoned that there will be no effective way to put it into practice.

If Christian teachers do not protest, refuse to cooperate, and assist in this law's implementation, then they are teaching the students that Christians will subject students to a concept that is flawed and badly reasoned. Sounds to me like child abuse! Wow! What a way to win students to Christ! (sigh!)

If non-Christian teachers do not protest and refuse to impliment this law then they are NOT "good" teachers! They are BAD teachers!

My kids went to single-sex parochial schools. At the time, that meant that girls went to school with girls, and boys went to school with boys. The term “single-sex” school now has a whole new meaning.

You absolutely did the right thing! Encourage friends, neighbors, and relatives to do the same.
