Christians and conservatives do not defend teaching children to think and reason godlessly by threat of government force.
Christians and conservatives do not defend forcing the taxpayer to support the government establishment of the religion of godless secular humanism in the hearts and minds of children who are literally government captives in government indoctrination centers.
Conservatives do not defend and support government collectivist social programs (government schooling is a collectivist social program) when private alternatives are completely possible.
Conservatives recognize the government schooling is not one of the essential functions of any level of government. Those functions are:
**Punish criminals who use force and fraud. by means of honest courts and police.
**Defend the borders against invasion by armies or overwhelming numbers of refugees.
**Enforce contracts by means of honest courts and police.
Amish and Irish for sure. lol
