"I never said that you personally was a child abuser..."

Obviously abused as a child......

Luke 10:25-28

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

Matthew 18:6

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

1) the people i know who went to catholic school were beaten by nuns. on the other hand, they were better educated, academically, maybe not socially.
2) there are very good, historically proven reason for the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
3) does anyone have any constructive ideas instead of name-calling and saying what's wrong with everything?

.......i am curious, if you could have it YOUR way, what would that be?
because i don't think that we all agree. in a public forum , like schools, we must compromise and find a common ground.
some things, like religion, are personal choices. probably the biggest differences i can think of are evolution vs. creationism and forms of sex eduacation and health. i can understand the dilema if your religion teaches something and your school teaches something else, what else do you think the "liberal" education system is teaching your children that you don't agree with?

The term "child abuse" gets bandied about far too much as to make it's use nearly meaningless.

Matthew 10:28

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Education that purports to prepare children for life, yet neglects the very purpose of life (knowing, loving and serving God) and jeopardizes a child's salvation, is far worse than any kind of physical abuse.

Spare the rod and spoil the child is not just the province of Nuns. "Beaten"? Perhaps a bit of hyperbole?

Show me where public schools are compromising vis-a-vis issues that never used to get them so worked up....like Christmas (AKA "Winter Holiday")

Who are you to judge how my child is being educated? You know nothing of me, my family, my child or her education, or our religious beliefs........as I do not wear them on my sleeve nor force them upon others.

I haven't been near a public school in Florida since the mid 1970s, so I have no idea about them.

As my husband said to a friend a week or so ago - to get the level of academic, disciplinary, and even moral standards we have found in this school system in Delaware we would have had to move to an area we could not afford to live, I would have to go back to work full time and one of us would have to work a 2nd job in order to afford the cost of a private education. It's one of the main reasons we now live in Virginia.

My comments regard schooling without God, which includes government schools and some nongovernment schools.

Christians protest every other book used (let's tie everyone up with the evolution-creation debate), blacks think Tom Sawyer is racist, atheists demand Bibles be removed. If the public schools were to address moral/ethics issues some would be suing and outraged because that's a parents job. yadda yadda yadda
I think it's true that there's practically nothing that everyone agrees about. So ask yourself, why is school actually there? Universal, compulsory state-run schooling, I mean. Did somebody get everybody to agree to it? A nationwide agreement on something, for perhaps the only time in American history? Or does school just present itself that way, so that people will cheerlead for it?

"I think it's true that there's practically nothing that everyone agrees about."

That's why we as a Republic have elections and elect people who agree with us and expect to make changes where we don't agree with the existing status.

"compulsory state-run schooling." You can't send your kid to a private school or homeschool?

Well, you can scratch the "government" school my child goes to off your list of schooling without God.
