Fine. Let's have Dominionist schools then. How about we let "The GOD WARRIOR" teach your children.
I don't believe any religion should be in charge of schools. I also don't believe in home schooling, unless the parents are teachers by profession, whiich means there is probably very little chance they would have time for home schooling.
Parents have every right to teach religion to their kids after school, or on Sunday, or whenvever. But Mon - Fri 6 hours a day, the kids should actually learn something about THIS world.

Originally posted by ELVIS If you're implying that that crazy woman from an episode of a reality show is anything representative of an american Christian, you're a FOOL!
I would certianly hope she wasn't. Hell, it's bad enough you have to live in the same state with her.
But James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell are just as crazy as she is, and yet you would turn public schools over to the likes of them?

Pat Robertson calls for assassinations of foreign heads of state and claims that God will "abandon" cities that don't put Unchristian Coaliton candidates on their school board.
James Dobson believes you have to beat your wife, your kids, and your dog in order to be the "master of your domain"

According to the CBN website, the Interview took place on Thursday, September 13 (Some versions of the eRumor say it was Wednesday).
Both men spoke harshly of the terrorists and clearly blamed them for the attacks.
During a discussion about whether this crisis might bring revival to America, Jerry Falwell said God may have allowed what the nation deserved because of moral decay and said Americans should have an attitude of repentance before God and asking for God's protection. He specifically listed the ACLU, abortionists, feminists, gays, and the People For the American way as sharing in the blame. Pat Robertson responded with agreement.
APOLOGY
The was national publicity over the Robertson-Falwell interview and strong reaction from representatives of some of the groups that Falwell named.
On 9/14/01, Falwell issued an apology for his comments and said he believes that the terrorists alone were responsible for the attacks. He reiterated, however, that theologically he believes that groups that have worked to secularize America have helped remove the nation from its spiritual foundations.
Pat Robertson, on his website, distanced himself from the comments that he had agreed with at the time they were made. He said that during the interview, Falwell suddenly made a "...political statement of blame directed at certain segments of the population that was severe and harsh in tone, and, frankly, not fully understood by the three hosts of The 700 Club who were watching Rev. Falwell on a monitor." Robertson said he considered the comments "totally inappropriate" and that critics had taken the words out of context.
