To: Ha Ha Thats Very Logical; wintertime
Your questions make it seem like you think that if the government doesn't enforce your rules, it is actively working to undermine them.

You nailed it here. That's what wintertime's views come down to, in a nutshell. She considers it a violation of 1st Amendment rights if schools allow other kids to be different from her kids and if they refuse her kids the right to stand on top of a desk during math class and preach about their religion.

You nailed it here. That’s what wintertime’s views come down to, in a nutshell. She considers it a violation of 1st Amendment rights if schools allow other kids to be different from her kids and if they refuse her kids the right to stand on top of a desk during math class and preach about their religion.


Unfortunately, your only solution is to silence her and her kids and think that’s the end of it.

You keep refusing to see the fact that wintertime is right, no belief is still in opposition to belief and is NOT a neutral value system. Science doesn’t exist in an ideal sterile unbiased vacuum, it is engaged by biased human beings, scientists who bring all kinds of flawed variables into the equation and subsequent study.

The unbeleivers have proven beyond any, ANY, doubt they’re no more objective than anyone else!

"All truth passes through three states. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, (1788-1860)

The truth is that a religiously neutral impossible. It is impossible. It can not exist. It is axiomatic.

When government owns and runs schools the government is establishing the religion of some and trashing that of others.

The truth is that government schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination!

I have big>repeatedly posted that the solution is to begin the process of getting government OUT of the education business. It is the only solution and that is the truth

Ok...I will try this again. Hopefully I will get it right this time.
