No, you have gone crazed on me before. After I responded another Freeper who’s gotten abuse from you private messaged me & told me your story: your kid getting kicked off the bus for racial remarks. He said it is impossible to converse w/ you. D*mn if he wasn’t correct!
You’re a nag & a scold who seems unaware of that little separation of church & state thingy. While you post a lot, not many respond. Live with/ it.
Government schools force a godless worldview onto captive children, and force taxpayers to pay for it. Children in government schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate within the godless classroom, read their godless texts, and do their godless homework. How could it be otherwise?
None of this is religiously neutral.
Begin the process of privatizing all government schooling.
That separation of church and state thingie, as you put it, is a contrivance of the left to justify removing God from the public sector.
At one time, in the not too distant past, school began with Bible reading and prayer. People were could practice their religion without fear of being sued.
The Constitution guarantees us freedom OF religion, freedom to practice our religion, not freedom FROM religion.
And wintertime is correct on her POV that there is no neutral ground when it comes to God. There either is God or there isn't. You either teach a God centered worldview or a God-less world view.
Teaching without mentioning God is NOT teaching a neutral position. It is teaching a belief system - one that does not account for God - aka humanism.
We are now reaping the fruit of that belief system in our culture and society.
When the writer's of the Constitution wrote what they did, there was all kinds of practices happening that today would be prohibited, such as prayer in school and Bible reading in school and teaching a God centered worldview.
THEY clearly didn't see any conflict between the two. That "conflict" is fabricated by the left to force mention of God out of our lives and culture.
If a product or service can be found in the yellow pages or on Google search then the government most likely shouldn't be doing it. Schools fall into that category.
Why?
Reason: Very little of what the government does in anything is religiously, culturally, or politically neutral. It is for this reason that government should be as limited as possible in the services it provides and as locally controlled as possible.
Schools are not now and never have been religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. Solution: Begin the process of privatizing all education.
By the way, you have accused me of being mentally ill and now a crazed nag, scold and abusive. As previously posted, I trust that you are** completely **professional and would never use these manipulative debating tactics on your emotionally, socially, and intellectually immature students. A professional teacher would never do that.
Most of us public school teachers, if not all, support homeschooling. We also support parochial, private and charter schools. We realize there is no one size fits all.
The truth will continue to elude them because they are so wrapped up in hate. They exist to destroy not build up.
