And...I am willing to bet that there was a HUGE difference between the generically Protestant worldview of our socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling and that of a truly Christian Baptist K-12 school of that era. ( wintertime)

Respectfully, I hope that you did not miss the sentence that I wrote above.
I would also encourage you to find a person of your generation who attended a Christian private school of **your** denomination. Compare and contrast the differences in the quality, quantity, and specificity of religious practice of the Christianity present within the entire curriculum and school experience of the religious school and socialist-entitlement K-12 school.
I would suspect that you would find great differences between your secular socialist-entitlement experience and that of a fellow church member who attended a church school of your denomination.
Next, I am **not** Catholic. Although I have differences in belief with Catholics, many of which you stated, I still respect them as believing Christians. Our nation would be, in my opinion, far stronger if all Catholic children received a truly Catholic and conservative education.
Finally, I urge you to prayerfully approach all issues that I addressed in my previous post to you.
I agree, our public schools have gone to the pits. But it was not so with its foundations.
Martin Luther[in 1620] said: “I afaid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they deliigently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.
“I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.”
When my wife of 54 years[today] taught in the projects [1970-1980] and found a great side benefit in teaching the Bible to these students: “It was they learned to read, then they became good students, and completed their education, some even through college.”
In 1965 we had a rise of CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. MY 2 SONS WERE BORN IN 1966 AND 1975 then, our daughter in 1973, so we were in the middle of new changes in education.
