It is a VERY short goose step from one to the other. THAT is the problem with STATE MANDATED, STATE APPROVED education, which is, after all, what you are demanding.

ALL of ours. ALL of our ideas, by the force of law. Get rid of public schools. I have NO option but to pay for them or lose my house. The STATE is oppressive and STATE mandated education is the reason.

THIS is what happens when the STATE controls education. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005852

I don't wish to banter with a bigot any longer. They are NOT YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. People of ALL faiths, and non faiths are FORCED to pay for them, under the full penalty of law and YOU want to FORCE THEM to adhere to YOUR beliefs only.

Even world leaders in countries that REQUIRE state approved teaching. What is scary it that is EXACTLY what the Obama crowd want, total control, of the STATE, by the STATE of the schools. They are well on their way to getting it too.

I won't sit here that long. I am outta here today, loaded or empty. I will head to more furtile fishing grounds.

SO, now the "STATE" sets curriculum? THAT is a VERY scary sounding statement. Only the "STATE" can approve, or not approve, what may or may not be taught or read? WOW! That, without a doubt, REEKS of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Talk about a DANGEROUS idea.

I feel sorry for you. Not because of your beliefs, you are allowed to have them. I feel sorry for you because you have no imagination. No thirst. Some beautiful poetry can be found in the bible, but you will never hear it and you would deny others the chance too.

HELLO! YOU WANT TO STOP OTHERS FROM DOING WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN! YOU WANT TO FORCE OTHERS KIDS TO READ YOUR HANDBOOK. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. I can shout too. I don't like what you preach or do either. We are even now.

Who said anything about believing or not believing. All I said is that it has significant historical context and is worthy of study on the literary value alone. Sorry to burst your bubble, but MUCH of what is in the Bible, and Koran, exists. Some of the countries still do, cities, rivers, etc...

You cannot preach anti-religion nor can you bar the practice of religion, nor can you establish a religion in public school. Unless, that is, you are suppressing the Bill of Rights. PERIOD. Why are you afraid of freedom? You sometimes remind me of those who have a fear of inanimate objects...

The bible has significant historical context. It, and "holy books" in general, are fine examples of literary work worthy of study on that basis alone. Looks like another rather biased source.

First off, you source is not un-biased. Second, having them in the library, or even teaching them in a historical context, is not distribution. Third, a private conversation between two people, about any subject, is frankly none of your business. (assuming that the story is as it reads). Also...

We HAVE answered. The Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, says we can. PERIOD.

Why are you SO OPPOSED to the Constitution and the Bill of RIGHTS? Does it not apply to you? Again, what part of the Constitution allows you to ban books? What part of having those books in schools is establishing a religion? What gives you the RIGHT to establish ANTI-religion? Is that not what...

Please show me where I said that you were NOT a "good" person because you don't believe in religion? I DID say you were opposed the the First Amendment of the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, but that was all. My kids WERE taught MANY things in public schools that I did not believe...

Kids often express curiosity about things LONG before junior high age. Just like sex, it's better not for them to learn it in the locker rooms.
