The government school is in a Catch 22 situation.

It is a catch 22 situation because the federal government is not empowered by the Constitution to involve itself in the Public School System. The federal government’s unconstitutional link to the public schools provides idiot atheists and their equally idiotic liberal supporters to claim 1st amendment violations. The 1st amendment wisely forbids the federal government from establishing a single religion for the nation.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Am I correct that all state constitutions also include First Amendment Rights? If state constitutions also call for compulsory government owned and run schools then their is an internal conflict within the state constitution document. Why? Answer: Because it is impossible for a government school and First Amendment Rights to coexist.

Yes, the states to have the right to establish a state religion, but, surely you would agree, to do this is a human rights violation, and an asault against freedom of conscience.

There is a solution: Privatize universal K-12 education.

MosesKnows,

I would surely support a complete withdraw of the federal government from education. It would be an improvement over what we have now.

BUT,,,the real solution is to have complete separation of School and State.
