I have read that article three times and can only say that it is a positive statement by the SBC.
They are advising parents to get their children out of the Godless public schools. (That's a good thing)
They aren't "dictating", "ordering" or "mandating" anything to anybody.
You have read all of those things into it.
The SBC does not have evil intent and they are not wrong to believe that parents should choose alternatives to public schools if at all possible.
From the positive statements you have made in your posts I think that you and the SBC are pretty much in agreement about how and what values children should learn. Don't be so hard on them.
Yes, you are right. I may be too hard on them. I love my Baptist teachings, and incorporate it into my daily education.
I suppose I have become cynical over the years. I believe the intentions are well meant, I just want people to know that they need not feel guilty if they cannot provide this lifestyle for their children, AS LONG AS they stay on top of what is happening in the PS's.
Thank you for pointing out what may have been my own errors of judgement in my posts.
