Since curriculum is ultimately the responsibility of locally elected school boards, I think you already have at least some control. As to the "social" stuff that you object to, you need to inform yourself as to how that "social" stuff is actually being taught, which few conservatives seem willing to do.
Yes, there are a lot of similarities. That's why the Roman centurion could describe the military chain of command and "amaze" Jesus by his faith. It's why the Roman Marian Reforms provided a "standard issue" equipment system that Paul could refer to as an example of God's certain provision for the Christian mission.
I certainly would support that.
On that we disagree. I don't think it should be profit making necessarily, but breaking even should be the goal. Spending more than you take in is not a good plan. It's being totally irresponsible with taxpayers money
Yes some people do very well with others telling them where they have to live, what they have to eat, when they can shower, what they have to wear, when they have to go to bed and when they can get up, who they have to fight and when. All for that free healthcare.
Yes Christ was amazed by his faith, not by his socialist work.
A spiritual mission to fight a spiritual battle and conduct spiritual warefare. . He wasn't describing how we have to live in a socialist military environment.
Oh but it is. You decide what our children need to be taught PERIOD, whether parents agree with it or not. Schools are going beyond academics, into social teachings and you know it.
They always have. The work of socializing our children is born mostly by the schools, since the kids spend a big chunk of their time there. They may not be doing a terrific job, but it is their responsibility to bear a hand.
In 2006, Congress passed a law that imposed extraordinary costs on the U.S. Postal Service. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) required the USPS to create a $72 billion fund to pay for the cost of its post-retirement health care costs, 75 years into the future. This burden applies to no other federal agency or private corporation. If the costs of this retiree health care mandate were removed from the USPS financial statements, the Post Office would have reported operating profits in each of the last six years. This extraordinary mandate created a financial “crisis” that has been used to justify harmful service cuts and even calls for postal privatization. Additional cuts in service and privatization would be devastating for millions of postal workers and customers. Again, greedy capitalists want to sabotage the Post Office to privatize the USPS for profits. Creating billions of dollars for the retirement of people not yet born, unreal. It's a postal service, not a postal business. Corporate media has failed to be the press that informs its citizens, many are unaware of this law.
Nup. I've tried. But I can't see how you got from the rather obvious point that most people haven't got the background or the ability to personally decide what's required to give their children a well rounded education to 'So we just breed workers'.
Better education would fix this misunderstanding.
Here's a good article on the subject. It's not quire the way you framed it. It does outline what's going on. It sounds lime they haven't been paying into the fund anyway.

Parents are free to take kids out of any lesson that for example teaches socially, psychology, biology, physics, history and ethics if they like.
Then we agree that only non religious inculcation should be taking place in schools? Would you also agree that children need to be taught how to thrive in the world they are entering?
They may have enforced socialization within the community. That is different than what you say below.
It is not their work to "socialize" our children. Socialization has already begun by the community they were born. Which begins with the parents at home.
No it is not their responsibility. Their responsibility is academic instruction. Not to resocialize them according to their own desires.
Parents should be free to send their children to schools which co not "resocializes" them in the first place.
Leave religion out of it. And leave the rest out until they have mastered reading, writing ,math, english etc.
Children in schools are not being re-socialized. It is in addition to what happens at home or elsewhere. A child’s social interactions at a public school will more accurately represent the community they live in and often become adults in. A private education can be used to try to steer a child’s social maturation in a specific direction if that is what a parent wants.
It is resocialization. Parents did not knoiw what their kids were being taught until Covid. An example is Tampons in boys bathrooms. Do you think mose parents give their boys Tampons?
Yes, because all their peers are being "resocialized" together. It is why parents want school choice.
What larger society? They come from communities they grow up in all their lives. Who is this larger society? Evidently you seem to be saying you need to bring this "society" to them in schools which is absent from the society they grow and live.
Into what? We need them to be educated in academics. A firm foundation to work and live...
