I think I do understand your viewpoint and hope you can understand mine. Children who can afford private schools probably have fathers who support them. It's the inner-city schools who most often have fathers who don't. That's why young men need to be trained to be good fathers. It's not going to come naturally to them because of their own fathers' example or lack of it. You must know there's no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. That theory was written by Thomas Jefferson to a pastor in a letter. Our earliest schools were formed by Christians, colleges as well. The early schoolbooks were full of references to God. We've come a long way from that, sadly.
I understand your concern. I think your support for government involvement is misguided.

True. Private groups will succeed or not without force based "solutions".

I know what the first amendment says.
That theory was written by Thomas Jefferson to a pastor in a letter.
Correct. And his opinion was a good explanation of an excellent idea.
Our earliest schools were formed by Christians, colleges as well.
Correct. All private.
The early schoolbooks were full of references to God.
No reason not to be.

It is sad indeed.
