>>Please remember that it is ***impossible** to live in a philosophic state of religious neutrality. All humans must choose between either a godless or God-centered worldview. All schools must choose one of these religiously non-neutral worldviews in which to develop their curriculum and school policies. Government schools, must as well.<<
ABSOLUTELY true! The Founding Fathers knew that and built the USA on a BIBLICAL world view! We need to once again be an unashamedly CHRISTIAN nation. God’s law need to be OUR CIVIL LAW.
Therefore......That is why our Founding Fathers wanted government to be as minimal as possible and as locally controlled as possible. Anything that the government does can not be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral in content or consequences.
Government schooling is a MAJOR abomination when it comes to the First Amendment and freedom of conscience. When there **are** alternatives to government run and owned schooling that have been proven to be superior, there can be no valid argument for allowing them to continue.
By the way....I have noticed that there is a strong similarity between the arguments used to defend government schooling and those used to defend slavery in the 19th century.
Do an experiment.
Each time the word “public school” is used in a defense of government schooling, substitute the word, “slavery” or “slave”. It is AMAZING how suddenly they become the same debating points used by supporters of slavery before the Civil War.
