Religion needs to stay out of sexual ethics

Nope, it is the fact that a few years ago one of the required readings for educators to be was by Bill Ayers, among other indicators.

My growing mind would have appreciated some data. I was forced to attend church with no information on why. I was - for a while - put in Sunday School which explained absolutely nothing.

It is not so much that the educational system pushes atheism - it certainly does not push science. It simply assumes atheism. Teachers who have been taught by professors who studiede in departments that assume atheism will in most cases not come up with anything original.

Contemporary education up through high school in this country is in most cases a misnomer. Daycare plus socialization.

But I don't believe the DOA pushes atheism, it pushes uniformity. If the standard model were theist, the kiddies would be sociualized as - say - Methodists.

And this book by Bill Ayers emphasized that Christianity was completely bad, without mentioning any good things about Christianity?

What book was it?

Must be one of these:

The man has a B.A. from the University of Michigan; a Master's Degree (M.Ed.) from the Bank Street College of Education (M.Ed.); and both a Master's (Ed.M) and Doctorate (ED.D) from the Teachers College at Columbia University.

Smart guy. All of those degrees in education mean much more than any High School or G.E.D. diploma.

So, the US Department of Education established one of the above books as required reading for teachers? And the main emphasis of the book was that students should be taught that Christianity was completely bad, with no redeeming qualities?

Which book was it?

I wish I knew ... for that matter, I wish Inuyasha knew ...

You are advocating abridging the rights of parents to teach their children the values and customs of their family? What would you recommend? Making the the State the effective parent of our children?

Be careful of what you wish for. You just might get it.
