I never wanted religion taught to my child in public schools. They are not qualified to teach religion. That is the role of the church and the family. I now do not want the school to teach religion to my grandson. That is still the role of the church and the family.
Fundamentally, government schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. The only solution is to begin the process of privatiization.
Axiom: It is** impossible **to have a religiously neutral government school because religious neutrality can not exist in the mind of a sentient human.
God-centered government schools are ** not ** religiously neutral because it violates the rights of parents who want their children to think and reason godlessly. There is also the knotty problem of which religion?
Godless government schools are NOT religiously neutral because they teach the child to think and reason godlessly which is in absolutely contradiction ) even and abomination) to that which many God-centered worldviews teach.
We must get rid of government owned and run socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling.
Again....Lucky you! You get the taxpayer to fund the religious worldview ( godless) of your children.
I can see you are struggling with this.
I can hardly think of anything that the government does that has completely neutral religious, political, and cultural consequences. It is for this reason our Founding Fathers wanted government ( especially on the federal level) to be as **limited** as possible.
Education has **enormous** political, cultural, and religious content and consequences that are never neutral. It if for this reason we should attempt, in every way possible, to see that education is** privately** delivered and that these political, cultural, and religious decisions are **privately** decided between the **private **school administration and the parent.
In an ideal world there would be complete separation of school and state.
