youre wrong on all counts. i wont bother with them all, but the biggest 2... first, it is NOT the schools duty to teach god or religion unless youre at a religious school. my kids are catholic, and go to church for their religion. they go to school to learn as much as they can from math english science history etc.

throughout history, opinions from teachers from THEIR outlook has made its way to the students. some parents are mind numbed to it and the kid grows learning what you say is the norm. I take the stand where it is the PARENTS duty to insure the kid has the right outlook and a balance to all equations. blaming the teachers and the system is a cop out. if they are learning how wonderful obama is during math class, then the parents should balance the equation correctly. this is not happening in a great many households. its the schools fault?? i say bullshit... all it takes is one kid in that class to have his or hers facts right, lay out a good analogy so the whole class understands it, and that would shut that teacher up but good.

“...first, it is NOT the schools duty to teach god or religion ...”

Are you not aware of what secular humanism is?
That it IS the equivalent of an atheistic religion, with worship of the state being uppermost? And that HAS been and CONTINUES to be taught for more than 50 years is so called “public schools?”

“they go to school to learn as much as they can from math english science history...”

And do you not realize that WHAT is taught shapes a worldview, and that there is NO way that the teaching of history can be taught and NOT also teach the religion of that school?

Are you really as uninformed as that?

Or are you just disingenuous in your prosetyizing of the socialist state?

My question wasn't whether it was the duty of government schools to teach religion. The question was, “Are your government schools godlessly secular in their worldview?”

Answer: Our socialist K-12 schools **DO** teach religion. The religion taught is godless secular humanism. The worldview of our nation's government schools is godless secular humanism. Secular humanism is NOT religiously neutral.

So...If you know of an exception this, if there is a god-centered government school out there in Freeper-land please send me a link.

NO school can be religiously neutral and this is one of many reasons why government must get out of the education business.

As for balance:

It take more time to “balance” than it does to simply do it right the first time.
