Aut libertas aut mors
I would like for some of you religious people to explain to me WHY you can't teach your kids about YOUR religion at home/church. Why is it you feel the need to PREACH to people who don't want to be a part of your religion(if I want to I will just look for the closest building with a cross). Why do you think YOUR religion should be in the PUBLIC square?
No such thing as freedom against religious expression. Do you have kids? If so, do you ship them off to the government factory every day school is in session, or do you exercise personal responsibility and accountability, by teaching them yourself?
Most people aren't able to homeschool effectively, and most also cannot afford (or do not have available, if you live in a rural area) the private school of their choice. I hope I'm reading this wrong, but sending kids to public schools isn't a dereliction of personal responsibility as a parent. My kids start tomorrow.
The point is, it is not the government's responsibility to teach your kids or anyone elses. And yet, kids get shipped off to the donut factory, and the parents keep complaining about how the government (and its factory workers) is teaching their kids etc.
I believe my post to be spot on, in addressing the attitude of the OP.
