But why should any religious views be injected in a public school?

Well, you've bought into the first lie -- the lie that no religious views are offered in public schools. (They are. Frequently.) I mean, even the perspective that God is an unmentionable in public school is indeed a "religious perspective."

Whose religious view should be acceptable? I don’t buy into that.

Half-truth #1: You've basically succumbed already -- the "religious view" that is currently acceptable is whatever the government, whatever the principal, whatever the school board, and whatever the teachers/curricula dictates. In other words, there already exists "religious views" in any given school deemed "acceptable" and "unacceptable." I mean, try giving a speech or valedictorian address that mentions "God" -- and see if the school's "religious views" finally become more readily apparent to you.

My kids can got their dose of religion from home and church. They carry it with them, they don’t need to be indoctrinated in a public school.

Another point of deception...public schools already engage in indoctrination...There is no God -- 'cause we don't mention Him...There is no revelation 'cause we never reference "inalieble truths"...etc.

Oh, and for "dosages of religion" -- as if it was an innoculation shot...I can see a TV report of Jesus 2000 years ago...the news camera focuses on Jesus with his disciples: "As your rabboni (teacher), we started off the first month meeting 24/7 with you. But from now on, I'm just going to give you innoculation shots each Sabbath morning and a few follow-ups at night during the week. So, I'm suspending our three-year 24/7 campaign in favor of dosages."

Merely not mentioning something doesn't mean that its nonexistence is being endorsed. I went to public school and the goal is to present the material as objectively as possible and leave moral instruction to the parent/religious establishment.
