Yes, I am glad you could figure that one out. My question to you was to make sure you knew the liberals are doing it right now as you worry about conservatives wanting their children to assume a Creator, just like the founding fathers (those right wing extremists).
What kind of a conservative are you? I assume you will say you are a small government one.
How can you call yourself a small governement conservative when you approve of the biggest, most influencial government indoctrination system run by extreme liberals whose goal is to use the public schools to undermine the values that parents teach their own children. Your daughter may opt out, but liberals know when they created their default 'new morality', new world view' and put it in as the default, most students will not opt out, thus the indoctrination is fixed. Is that okay with you?
You have not yet realized that your daughter will grow up into a world where extreme liberals have OPTED most other people's children IN?
It doesn't matter who the majority is. It matters who's running the schools.
Exactly my point. So why have the majority of people not had their views taught in their own schools instead of this leftist minority view. And is that okay with you?
If we are going to have indoctrination anyway, allowing the extremists of the minority view to have their views given a government stamp while making the majority pay for it is the worst choice of all.
Public school is BIG GOVERNMENT indoctrination of a captive audience of other people's children by a minority group of extremists. And that doesn't bother you quite enough yet? What kind of conservative did you say you were?
I figured it out long ago. You're just being confrontational.
I assume you will say you are a small government one.
That's me. Socially I'm fairly conservative, but the desire for a less powerful government keeps me from wanting to use the government to force that on others.

I didn't say I approved. I approve of the concept of a public education. I don't approve of the ineffective monstrosity of a monopoly it has turned into, not even counting ideological differences.
I do believe in the separation of church and state. "No law" means "No law." That means the government doesn't get into the religion business. That also means the government can't discriminate against private schools just because they're run by religious groups and have religious indoctrination (yes, that's what it is) as part of the curriculum. Bring on the vouchers equally for all schools, bring on the competition. The public schools will reach a point of desperation when facing destruction, and the system will rebel against the liberal unions that almost destroyed it. That, plus decentralization of command, will allow the schools to truly reform and serve their communities.

She's shown herself to be smart enough to resist. I'll keep encouraging that.
