Public education would be fine if it weren't also indoctrination in values that some don't share. For that reason there should be a lot more private education.
Maybe this should be a thread in it's own, but, do share with us what "indoctrination" goes on at a public school? What morals taught in public school are you against? Sharing? Manners? Waiting in line for lunch? Raising your hand before blurting out an answer?

"Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Othersfor example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einsteinconsidered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."-Carl Sagan
"Show me where Christ said "Love thy fellow man, except for the gay ones." Gay people, too, are made in my God's image. I would never worship a homophobic God." -Desmond Tutu

Re: On incendiary language
Stealing is wrong whether anybody calls it wrong or not. That's the universe I live in.
Even if Jesus does it?
