"They run the very real danger of actually learning something useful, instead of a hodge-podge of liberal shibboleths and the standard left-wing catechism.

You think the CD-ROM curriculum will be anything OTHER THAN a hodge-podge of liberal shibboleths and the standard left-wing catechism?

Thats a very good point, because any CD-ROM curriculum would likely be hijacked by the NEA and the other usual suspects.

But in fact, since each child is learning individually, as long as the computerized classes allowed him to pass the standardized tests -- so everyone would study American History, Mathematics, and English Literature -- it should be up to the parent to decide which classes the child takes.

For example, if a Jewish family wanted their kid to take a Hebrew class as the foreign language requirement and take a Jewish history and theology class instead of the typical generic social studies class, there would be no First Amendment issues because the parents chose the program from a selection of different curriculums. No one would have a value system contrary to their family beliefs forced on them.

As long as the religious materials were donated to the school (so no tax dollars were spent on it), even the use of government supplied computersand classroom space wouldn't create a First Amendment issue.
