Well....It should be simple for you.

How is teaching children to think godlessly, not evil?

How is teaching children to be comfortable and entitled to another’s labor to fund a service their parent's want for tuition-free not evil?

How is teaching children to submit to the will of the voting mob ( misnamed “school board”) over the very thoughts they think and hold in their hearts, not evil .

If the above is not evil it should be **easy** for you to explain why.

Somebody needs to teach you to think, or at least to be intellectually honest.

The premise of your post is that public schools and their teachers teach children to “think godlessly,” which is absurd.

You call elected local school boards “voting mobs,” which is not only irrational but unAmerican.

It is sadly apparent that you speak in ignorance and rail against that which you do not know. You need to get out more.

I am the parent of three highly-successful, conservative, devout Christan young adults who are all products of public schools. They had, as would be expected, some terrible teachers and some wonderful teachers. They will have terrible bosses and wonderful bosses, terrible co-workers and wonderful co-workers. That’s how life is.

My job was to be the parent who held them responsible, who taught them proper behavior and respect for authority, who instilled in them the character traits that made them successful both in the classroom, in adult life, and in standing eventually before their Lord.

I am truly thankful for the teachers and other good parents who walked hand-in-hand with me and my spouse as the kids grew up.

Reading your irate and uninformed opinions would lead me to believe that you would not have been one of them, but rather would have been the negative influence that impairs education today.

I am a public school teacher, and I do a good job. I am always teaching, as are many of the other teachers in my school.

Many of my students go to church. There they learn about God. My students learn about literature, as we are currently learning about the Scarlet Letter.

I know you like to shout and get excited, but I have Muslim students, atheist students, Christian students, and some of other religions as well. I’d like for you to suggest what I should do that wouldn’t get me sued by their parents.

My job is to disseminate information and prepare them for life after school. If their parents want them to have a “godly” education, they can send them to a private school, but as a previous private school attendee myself, the stuff that goes on at a public school infests private schools too.

I know that this post may illicit more yelling, so I’ll leave it at that.
