Education is mandatory. People have no choice but to go, at gunpoint if necessary. In government schools under this law, so is pleadging allegience out loud, even if you don't feel allegience. Therefore you are being forced at gunpoint to pledge alligence.
Then they try to force people in private schools to do the same. Neither is right. And when I educate my own children, I still have to pay for yours.
Substitute another country, like Iraq or Nazi Germany into the equation and remove this country and see if you think it's a good idea then.
If Hillary were to pull a sucessful coop and write one with her name in there, see if you agree then.
Government schools are a prominent part of the Communist Manifesto. They are incompatible with a free society in the long term.
Precisely
and vouchers--right now!!!!
Vouchers are just one more way to bring private schools under government control.
Personal attacks are a good way to debate, but pointing them out is not? LOL Good thinking.
I never complain about personal attacks when people disagree with me, only when they attack me personally instead of staying on point.
Management has warned people not to attack others personally. They have told me too. The poster here hits the abuse button with regularity but then attacks people himself.
If you do it, it means you can't debate, not if you call others on it.
Christian school?
I sympathize if she lost friends. That being said, no Christian school preaches hope for death for anyone. They teach you to pray for your enemies.
If this person is telling little children to hope for the killing of someone, the person is letting their personal feelings overcome their common sense. It is clearly inappropriate in my view and I would make it known to the teacher and inform my child that the teacher is incorrect.
None of this has anything whatsoever to do with the murderous Bin Laden.
I see they mention The Circle School here in Harrisburg. My goalie (soccer) goes to that school.
Last Saturday after a tournament in Philly he came to me and said, "coach, I think I want to play in the field next week instead of goalie, it will make me feel better." Honest, he said that.
I said, "son, what the hell do you think we are practicing for today?" "We are in the PA State Indoor Cup next week and this was practice for it." "I continued, if you are not going to play goalie next week, let me know right now and please don't show up because your off the team." I continued, "Now, that outta make you feel good."
You express your contempt for the Union established by our Constitution here:
"...it was never a civil war, it was the war between the states. It was more like the Revolution, it was for independance.
IMO, the south should have abolished slavery and then seceeded.

The tongue of a Kohm would burn with fire if he tried to say the E Pleb Nista.

I never took it that way, that is, we should personally want to kill someone. She says "I hope THEY Kill OBL". What you said did first cross my mind, but I've always taught my kids the Gov't does not carry the sword in vein. They encourage those that do good, and punish those that do evil. (Romans 13) (ie, Gov'ts are ordained by God to carry out Law and Order)
ROFLOL!!! - I use to coach soccer, that's a great line.
Neither did I. And I didn't say that.

Really? Interesting. Does that apply to Iraq? Nazi Germany? Japan in the thirties?
They encourage those that do good, and punish those that do evil. (Romans 13) (ie, Gov'ts are ordained by God to carry out Law and Order)
Which has nothingwhatsoever to do with telling little children to hope anyone gets killed by anyone else.
We are commanded to pray for our enemies, not teach our children to hope they get killed.
This would never have happened in a Christian school. Abolish government schools and the problem disappears.
