However, we have this mistaken idea that as long as there is no Christian teaching then there is no religious teaching. What has happened is that we replaced teaching that was based on a Christian world view with teaching from a worldview that is based on the religion of secular humanism.

You "get it"! Godless is not religious neutral in content or consequences. Neither is God-centered. Few conservatives understand this. The problem with the government's NON-neutral schools is that the most politically powerful get to indoctrinate the next generation of voters.

The choice isn’t between religion or no religion in schools, but rather between which religion.

Yes, indeed! The solution is to begin the process of privatizing K-12 schooling. Vouchers, tax credits, charters, homeschool, Internet schooling, etc. can help build the infrastructure but the goal must be kept in sight. Goal: Complete separation of school and state.

The belief that there is no neutral is why we pulled our kids out of public school to homeschool them.

It has been the hardest thing I have undertaken, but after seven years I am still glad we made that choice.

I believe the government will try to make home-schooling more difficult. My daughter is expecting in a month and I have told her to please never let her go to a public school.
