My youngest is almost 23 yo. Fortunately, we were able to innoculate them and deflect 99.9999% of the brainwashing. We are fortunate that we live in a very conservative place and at one point, in grade school, even part of the Bible was taught.

Please read post #46
This is another “if only” argument. Government schools are OK “if only” a parent is involved enough to deflect 99.999% of the brainwashing...
Another is “if only” the bible would be taught...
All government schools are godless in their worldview. **ALL** of them! All government schools teach children how to live their lives without God. All government schools teach children how to evaluate everything they learn from a godless perspective. They swim in a sea of godlessness for 6 to 7 hours a day ( or more) 180 days a year for 13 or more years!
1) This is not religiously neutral and is fundamentally the taxpayer establishment of godlessness by the government. This is a fundamental violation of our human and First Amendment rights against government imposed religion.
2) Maybe highly dedicated parents can overcome 99.999% of the godless indoctrination but why should they be forced to do this? Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for it?
3) I bet the family fortune that the Bible course taught was merely for cultural literacy. It is was likely a “Bible as literature” course and taught children to **ignore** the religious principles and to merely focus on the cute stories. Well...Courses that do this teach children to think of the Bible and the God who authored it as “cute”.
