Hello......
It's called the public school system.
Is there something in Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; that you don't get?
Why the litmus test for religion?
What are you doing on FR anyway, noob, promoting that kind of socialist, government control of education?
Religious people pay taxes as much as anyone. Why are you proposing coercing the taxes out of them to support public education which endorses ideology which they don't agree with and then telling them that if they want any different that they have to pay for it out of their own pockets? Why should only non-religious people and institutions get the money coerced from the religious people?
This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and worked just fine for centuries when Bible reading and prayer were part of the opening of every school day.
Why is that not acceptable any more?
Because leftist activists, entrenched in the positions of influence, simply don't (and won't) like it. No point arguing with them, we need a reconquista, and then we can argue among ourselves (at the school board level) if the "young Earth creationism" belongs to science classes, or rather should be taught as religion.

Obviously, because more and more and more of those that were indoctrinated in the gubmint screwel indoctrination centers have all growed up and don’t know any better...
and by the looks of some of the 14 year olds here, they honestly do not appear to have been exposed to anything else and you could argue they are at least exposed to conservatism right here on FR, but look how they react to actual education and a different perspective here...
they’ve been so well indoctrinated that they’re utterly resistant to ANY logic and reason on FR.
I think the litmus test for religion & public schools is still based on Supreme Court decisions from the 70’s . . . the lemon codes, I think. Anyone want to help out here?
What religious ideology are “religious people” being coerced into supporting?
If you think that J-C values are foundation of our Constitution, then you are simply being disingenuous. All stable societies have been based on ideas found in J-C values-many before the J-C version of those values. I think you have to admit the force of the Enlightenment ideas in the writing of the Constitution. Did we establish a Constitutional Republic based on religion or on religious tolerance?
I hang out at Free Republic because for the large part people argue ideas instead of mocking, character assassinations found in the leftist media. I hang out at Free Republic because in times like these I'm encouraged to read so many other people think that socialism is evil, that it diminishes individual integrity, and that government is not the answer but an inconvenient necessity of the human condition.
I hang out at Free Republic because I think that individual freedom and political liberty are the foundations of individual integrity and the pursuit of happiness-in any manor I wish to define it, as long as I don't tread on another's own idea of happiness.
