I don't know how this got from God in school, to Homo's, to the death penalty????????????
Years ago on I think the discovery channel was one of my favorite alltime programs called "Connections". The program would take a subject near and dear to our hearts today, some invention or something and then take what appears a meaningless and unrelated event in history long, long ago and then come through time showing how they are connected. As one event unfolded, it caused someone to think in a different direction and over time we have what we have today.
Some of these threads can do the same thing but in the case of this thread there is IMO an underlying connection having to do with moral beliefs. God in schools, homosexuality and the death penalty all in one way or another play into people's moral beliefs and they take many shapes and forms. It's not hard to to see where some people might connect the dots so to speak with God so-called being removed from the schools and the seeming appearance of a rise in homosexuality.
There is a huge fight over the minds of children in the gov't schools that take form across many lines IMO, not just the few issues we've talked here. Back in the 70's when I graduated High School, the diploma meant something and the level of knowledge then was equal to at least 2 years of college now and in some cases higher. Thus the reason at the time and through the 1980's that at UPS you could become a Division manager without a college degree but that has all changed now.
The educational system has so focused on a type of moral structure and conditioning kids to some utopian form of model citizens that the primary mission of the 3 R's if you will has become secondary. You have pockets where things might be good but on average across the board this is not the case at all. Other nations are now focused on the 3 R's and thus are passing us by while we spend all our time trying to breed citizen conformists to a central model ideal. Why have they done this?
Because our drive to utopian society free of all risks have required the 2 key players in the life of a child be removed to the industrial/business plantations in order to boost the economy for the purpose of tax revenues in order to pay for the utopianism we so demand the gov't give us. Now that the 2 parents are missing from the mix of guidance plus we've been watered down to believe child raising is something not worthy of us and best left to the experts, someone has to step in to teach them morals and who better but the gov't schools. Now they choose the morals and many of you don't like it and I can understand that.
As a result of this underlying connection that no one but me is crazy enough to bring front and center we've surrendered as parents in trade of the super state our children. Now the schools are mills which try and make all children the exact model copy of each other that devoids them of their past histories and beliefs of their families and many of you don't like it.
People are rightly upset over what they are seeing as dictated out of central control in Washington DC that overrides the will and wishes of local parents and educators. But sadly they have not the courage to stand up and revolt at the ballot box and tell both parties and to quote Pink Floyd from The Wall:
"We Don't Need Your Re-Education!"
Yeah, I took a little license!
