Why would any demomination of Christianity want to be associated with American government schools?

Sometime in the 1880's the last township in Massachusettes resisted the imposition of government schooling---at gunpoint.

But I realize these were the backwards days when people were not concerned overmuch with pledging allegiance to a flag.

I think the main thing is because the Government takes the funds - under threat of gunfire - to send your kids to such schools whether you send your kids there or not.

Doesn't matter to me what they or any other religion does or does not want. That is their business. What is important is they can do what they want.

Three nationwide purges of libraries and schools occurred in Soviet-occupied Poland (1949, 1950, 1952). Excerpt from an order for the first purge:

DATE: 1949
FROM: J. Albrecht, Director of the Department of Propaganda, Education
and Culture [of the Central Committee of PUWP(1)
J. Kowalczyk, Director of the Department of Education [of the Central
Committee of PUWP
TO: First Secretaries of the District Committees of PUWP

The school and general libraries are still polluted with books whose content is politically harmful or hostile. The Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Culture have undertaken the task of purging the library collections. This work is to be performed in July, August and September of this year [1949].

The party cells are to conduct this action and make sure it is efficiently performed. . .
