Are you a parent? Then teaching morality is your job, not the school's. You can't have it both ways. Don't complain about sex ed, saying that's the parent's responsibility, yet say the schools are supposed to take over the parental responsibility of teaching morals.
Teaching morality in schools cannot not agree with all parents. It could at most agree with small, highly dogmatic groups. For example, I bet the Westboro Baptists all agree on the same exact morals. Expand that into general Christianity and you have thousands of sets of morals at least. There was a deadly riot in this country because the Protestants and Catholics couldn't agree on whose version of Christianity should be taught in schools.
My Catholic mother believed it was the parochial school's job to reinforce ( rather than undermine with godless thinking processes) the values being taught in the home.
The ONLY solution is privatization of all education.
We must begin the process of getting rid of government owned and run schools.
All schools must choose between either godless or God-centered worldviews. Government schools must do so as well.
Let's suppose government schools were God-centered ( as the first modern government schools ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) were:
If a child from a home with a godless worldview ( secular) were forced into a government school with a God-centered worldview, the government would be teaching that child to think, and evaluate his world, in a God-centered manner. In other words the government would be **establishing** a God-centered religious worldview. There is First Amendment conflict there. Obviously!
What happens when a child from a God-centered home is forced to attend our present day godless government schools?
In the same way as in the preceding example,when a child from a God-centered home is forced into government godless schools, he is taught in these godless schools to think and evaluate godlessly. The government is actively ( day by day, minute by minute) destroying and undermining the child's religious belief. In other words the government is **establishing** a godless religious worldview. There is First Amendment conflict there...but...government school defenders REFUSE to accept this.
For the most part, from the posts I've seen here on Free Republic, evolutionists are bullies. They defend government force in education.
I taught evolution in my homeschool, but I do NOT NOT NOT stand with the bullies who wish to force my educational philosophy on unwilling families. I stand with those who wish to get government out of the education business.
Teaching morality in schools cannot not agree with all parents.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, schools **can** agree with all parents, if they are private schools.
Solution: We must begin the process of privatizing all universal K-12 education and work to either shut down the government schools or convert them to private schools. ( I would also include our state colleges and universities as well.)
Do the above and all these arguments about evolution with disappear.
