It is impossible for the curriculum and policies of any government school to be neutral politically, culturally, or religiously either in content or in consequences. So....why is government in the business of promoting and establishing the worldview ( with religious consequences) of some citizens and trashing and undermining the traditions of other citizens?

Who wants them to be neutral? I sure don't. To be "neutral" is the crutch of the leftist, who wants no distinction made between the terrorist killing innocents, and Marines killing terrorists, or that there is no difference between a legitimate country like the USA having nuclear weapons and a backwater shithole like Iran having them.

I want them to give the children a high-quality secular education, free of politically correct stuff from the left or from the right, like ID or creationism.

And if it offends someone's religious "worldview," that is that person's problem. If someone's religious views can't handle or is threatened by secular knowledge, they are free to keep their kids ignorant of secular knowledge by home schooling or by sending them to a school that doesn't teach things like science.

And,,,,,you are completely comfortable advocating the use of police, court, and foster care threat to force YOUR anointed educational philosophy on OTHER people's children!...and threatening other citizens with the sheriff's auction of their homes and businesses to fund it.

Geeze! How magnaminous of you!

Who wants them to be neutral? I sure don't.

The education of the young can NEVER be politically, culturally, or religiously neutral in content or consequences. That is why government must never be in the business of owning or running schools. Government schools WILL establish and uphold the political, cultural, and religious traditions of some while undermining and trashing those of others. But,,,,,,hey!,,,,That's alright with you so long as it is your political, cultural, and religious traditons that the government schools are establishing.

Hm,,,,the word "bully" does come to mind.
