You forgot to add the important point - where YOU live.
Sorry, but your personal situation is just that, your personal situation. You tend to forget that not everyone lives in the same educational hellhole (in your mind) as you do.
Provide a link that proves that it isn't. Can you point to even one exception?
In my county, this **universal** practice caused all private schools to close. I am willing to bet that is the situation in many counties.
Ok. I'll accept that....Then it should be **easy** for you to do the following:
Provide even one link where government owned and run K-12 schooling in the U.S. is not officially secular by law.
Please give one link to government owned and run K-12 schooling that is not a socialist entitlement.
Provide even one link to a government owned and run socialist K-12 school that does not trash the plain meaning of the First Amendment.
Now...Answer the question: How can godless, socialist, compulsory government schooling that trashes the First Amendment be “good” for our nation's children or for the future of our nation?
