My Catholic mother believed it was the parochial school's job to reinforce ( rather than undermine with godless thinking processes) the values being taught in the home.
The ONLY solution is privatization of all education.
We must begin the process of getting rid of government owned and run schools.
All schools must choose between either godless or God-centered worldviews. Government schools must do so as well.
Let's suppose government schools were God-centered ( as the first modern government schools ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) were:
If a child from a home with a godless worldview ( secular) were forced into a government school with a God-centered worldview, the government would be teaching that child to think, and evaluate his world, in a God-centered manner. In other words the government would be **establishing** a God-centered religious worldview. There is First Amendment conflict there. Obviously!
What happens when a child from a God-centered home is forced to attend our present day godless government schools?
In the same way as in the preceding example,when a child from a God-centered home is forced into government godless schools, he is taught in these godless schools to think and evaluate godlessly. The government is actively ( day by day, minute by minute) destroying and undermining the child's religious belief. In other words the government is **establishing** a godless religious worldview. There is First Amendment conflict there...but...government school defenders REFUSE to accept this.
For the most part, from the posts I've seen here on Free Republic, evolutionists are bullies. They defend government force in education.
I taught evolution in my homeschool, but I do NOT NOT NOT stand with the bullies who wish to force my educational philosophy on unwilling families. I stand with those who wish to get government out of the education business.
Can't let the indoctrination slip; otherwise, these kids might grow up to think for themselves.
What happens when a child from a God-centered home is forced to attend our present day godless government schools?
He misses about 7 hours of religious indoctrination per weekday, and instead needs to rely on the other 9 waking hours at home during the week, and church, and Sunday school, and Summer Bible camp, and an uncountable number of other religious-related activities kids participate in. Poor, deprived child. Basic math is godless instruction that'll ruin his life unless it's presented as "Lo, and our Lord God spaketh unto the people, thou shalt not divide by zero for it is a sin before thy Lord, and thou shalt be cast down into the fires."

Evolutionists say if you're going to teach science, then teach science. Don't teach religious proselytization and instruction under the guise of science. That is a separate issue from the radical atheists who want to wipe any mention of religon from our public schools.
