— Government schools are godless.

"Government schools were/ are a Protestant (over)reaction to the Catholic schools that were all publicly funded at one time. They are built on the "Protestant" foundation, are you saying that Protestants are Godless?

— Government schools are socialist-funded.

I am not sure where you received your education, but here in my State we teach the students that our country is a Democratic Republic. The People elect representatives that are chosen to represent their interests. One of these interests is the education of the youth. As such our schools are funded through Democracy, not socialism. You might want to consider getting a refund on that Doctorate you like to spout off about. This is some thing that is taught to grade school school children.

— Government schools are voter mob ( school board ) controlled.See the above. Mobs by definition are unruly lawless gangs based on violence. If yours acts that way you might consider moving.

— It is impossible to have religiously. culturally, and politically neutral education.Thank God for that. Otherwise I could not expound my Conservative Christian values. The last thing we want is a neutral valueless education

— Government schools are First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.

This is an opinion unsupported by evidence. I and other teachers have every right to express ourselves, that is the reason for tenure.

Verga...Only a few years ago when I posted that government schools were godless or that a neutral education was impossible I was called an extreme ranter. Now do a Google search on the words “godless government schools” and “neutral government schools or education” and see what comes up.

Ideas are the most powerful things in this world. Flailing against a powerful idea is like yelling at a hurricane hoping it will go away.

Idea: Government schools are evil ( do a Google on that expression), so what does that make those who establish them, implement their policies, promote and defend them?
