American history isn't the only history students are (or should be) taught. Thankfully, I was taught world and ancient history as well as mythology.

You mean eliminate public funding for education? Yes, I am for that. Private all the way, IMO.

The silenced majority

Doesn't that seem like the most logical solution?

People contest too much about who gets taught what & who's being indoctrinated how.

Education should be a State's rights issue, our Constitution was supposedly designed to allow for States to set the educational standards or decide to not force public funding for education at all.

Sounds he didn't like it! I was half joking but just as many take the bible a serious book, I'm sure they could learn something from the Koran . IMO, religion should be taught on weekends, at church, temple, in a mosque, or at home. Personally, I think it's all BS, not worth fighting for.

I think for the most part public schools do OK. It's not like everyone would be able to send their kids to private school. What then? Communities need to do better with their local school boards.

I don't have a problem with the bible being taught as an elective as long as it is in a historical context and not proselytizing.

I think they ought to have a southern baptist minister from Georgia in ever Bible classroom. They should find out which kids belong to atheist parents and other heathens, and preach hellfire and brimstone to them for an hour everyday. They need to have a come-to-Jesus meeting in the principal's office every month for those that didn't show up for class. And if those heathen parents complain, they need to haul them into court and try them for witchcraft. We've got to rid the Earth of these sinners. I tell ya, we got to.......
