why should any parent be forced to use these abominations misnamed "schools". Why should the taxpayer be forced to pay for it. They never were, and never can be religiously neutral.
However, they know it is bunk and laugh at it. “In the best of circumstances they will learn to compartmentalize their faith”. Not necessarily.
Yes, there are children who can and do overcome the godless indoctrination. But...While they are in the government schools they will learn to think and reason godlessly. They have to merely to participate in the class and complete assignments.
“They have to merely to participate in the class and complete assignments”.
Okay, I have had some issues there. However, the grade wasn’t affected. My son has an honors English teacher who said that Hitler wasn’t anti-Jewish, he was simply a politician. Hitler didn’t “really hate Jews”. My son stood up and said that it was the most offensive statement he ever heard. He further stated that “you can’t kill 6 million Jews and have it said that you don’t HATE Jews”. So, yes, many public school teachers are nut jobs. They can “dislike” a student for not agreeing with them. Currently, we have one science teacher who is a vegan/PETA person. She hates the students who eat meat or wear leather.
