RE: Obamas daughter are attending a religious school...
OK, what does Obama mean by “religious” schools encouraging division?
Is Sidwell friends a religious school or not?
I am assuming that they, being a Quaker school, adhere to the Bible as the word of God. I also assume that they are Christian.
If they are not, then they probably have their own “religion”.
Whatever it is, Obama seems to be exempting the “religion: of Sidwell friends from this charge if divisiveness.
Most Quaker schools are far left of the public schools.
That's true.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

It’s about uniformity of thought, but with lots of different colored faces thinking the same thoughts. Like the song about the little boxes on the hillside.
It’s why the Nazis outlawed the Boy Scouts, so that there could be one folk, one fatherland.
Obama is incredibly ignorant about Catholic schools, about Irish History, about almost everything.
If he didn’t have Mr. Teleprompter before him, he would have no words.
He is an empty barrel. They make the most noise, as our sainted nuns in Catholic school used to say.

Now why is ‘the gov’t’ interested in what people’s beliefs are? Another slam on why America exists to being with!
Where are the Patriots? The IRS tried to muzzle them.
We know how it ends and the only victory is ‘in Christ’!
That’s only to keep them ‘safe’ from the public schools where violence reigns.
