Legislate against exclusive faith schools

[Undesired Walrus]

Controversial, perhaps impossible, but imagine a school for purely Fiscal Conservative children (Age 4-16) in which only fiscally Conservative children can attend, a school in which the tenants of Fiscal Conservatism are upheld.

School should open your mind and encourage you to think for yourself, not constrict it. An adult club just for Conservatives is fine, but not for children for whom political identity has not been established yet. It would be absurd.

Uh, what?

Uh, what?

What he said.

Good idea, UW!

Let's make martyrs out of the bastards; that'll help.

On the one hand I don't care for the mantra that "Children shouldn't be taught how to think, but what to think.", but I am also for the ability to school my own children (if they existed) how I see fit. That being said while I may not agree with it parents have the right to send their kids to a faith based school if they so choose or to the Ayn Rand School of Architecture you described above.

Do you consider atheism a religion?

Subtract "perhaps". For better or for worse, religion (and non-religion) have special legal protections thanks to the US Constitution.

I guess Walrus would think the same about a school that teaches purely Socialism.

I thought they already did?

Sonny was duly edumicated by his union teacher that Reagan Was The Devil.

Hey, if they're paying the bill, then yes.

As long as the kids are being educated on their dime and can pass the stanadardized test, it's not the government's business.
