My Catholic mother believed it was the parochial school's job to reinforce ( rather than undermine with godless thinking processes) the values being taught in the home.

Can't let the indoctrination slip; otherwise, these kids might grow up to think for themselves.

What happens when a child from a God-centered home is forced to attend our present day godless government schools?

He misses about 7 hours of religious indoctrination per weekday, and instead needs to rely on the other 9 waking hours at home during the week, and church, and Sunday school, and Summer Bible camp, and an uncountable number of other religious-related activities kids participate in. Poor, deprived child. Basic math is godless instruction that'll ruin his life unless it's presented as "Lo, and our Lord God spaketh unto the people, thou shalt not divide by zero for it is a sin before thy Lord, and thou shalt be cast down into the fires."

For the most part, from the posts I've seen here on Free Republic, evolutionists are bullies. They defend government force in education.

Evolutionists say if you're going to teach science, then teach science. Don't teach religious proselytization and instruction under the guise of science. That is a separate issue from the radical atheists who want to wipe any mention of religon from our public schools.

Do you understand? A religious vacuum is **IMPOSSIBLE**! A school must choose godless or God-centered. Neither is religiously neutral in content or consequences.

So you are saying you are not like almost every other atheist.

So you do then agree that it is okay for the Public Schools to tell children that 'we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights'?

With the emphasis that our rights are given by our Creator

After all, that is what the founders wrote was our foundational principle.

You are not biased against that are you? You would consider the neutral teaching of the founders to be neutral wouldn't you?
