I think you paint with too broad a brush. Conservative Christians are the mainstay of the home-schooling movement which I believe is still growing, and many of us have children who survived the secular onslaught of the public schools with conservative worldviews and Faith intact.

Watching my kids and their friends the last twenty years, they have developed BS detectors that work in " social studies " class just as well as when watching commercials on TV. I still enjoy remembering how, as tots, they laughed and mocked at "Captain Planet."

It is the deluded liberal parents who perpetrate child-abuse by role-modelling liberal depravity who are the worst offenders. The teachers are largely impotent to spread the virus if it is not supported at home.

I think you paint with too broad a brush.

About 10% of the nation's children attend private schools. Of that 10% not all of them are conservative or religious. About 2 to 4% are homeschoolers.

So?...I am "painting with a broad brush"? I don't thing so.

That sooooo many of our nation's children attend government schools is a disgrace! Christians have NOT worked together to provide a tuition-free alternative to the government schools. They have and ARE failing to give their children, and others, the opportunity for an Christian education that is God-centered in its worldview.

If conservative Christians **were** doing their duty before God, EVERY child in this nation would have the opportunity for a tuition-free conservative Christian education.

Please remember that government schools are by law god-less in their worldview.

You were one of the lucky ones. It is STUPID for Christians to play the odds. When they send their children into government schools, and allow their congregation's children to do so as well, they are playing Russian Roulette with their children's souls! ( Except the odd on Russian Roulette are better!)

Whereas, the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life reported to the 2002 Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention that 88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18, never to return; and

This is a stawman. I did not say that they were not. I can not defend an argument of your creation.

If the teachers are not part of the solution, then they are perpetrators of the problem. Shame on them too, for ***willingly** accepting a paycheck for pushing atheistic, Marxist, secular humanism on our nation's children.
