Should taxpayer funds be used to support the liberal religion of secular humanism in American schools, that conservative America opposes?

Secular Humanism: America's Establishment of Religion

Secular Humanism, the worldview philosophy that now governs the curriculum of our tax-funded public schools. Some humanists claim that secular humanism is a religion; other humanists claim that it isn’t.

However, In March 1987, U.S. District Judge W. Brevard Hand ruled that Secular Humanism was a religion. Indeed, Phyllis Schlafly, a graduate of Harvard Law School, wrote in 1980, “Secular Humanism has become the established religion in the U.S. public school system.”

It boggles my mind why anyone would send their children to a public school.

God have mercy.

Because a lot of Christian schools are garbage and even more full of unqualified, agenda-driven personnel than these mythical public schools.

Yes, that definitely can at times be very much a 'religion' in that it can use articles of faith, and insist they are 'truth', etc., even for things that are widely thought ambiguous, and even for some key things that are widely known to be false outright by huge pluralities.

Example of outright falsehood, and not widely agreed to: Christianity is merely a 'religion' only the same as any other. So it can be studied as merely another equally valid/relative religion, equal to Buddhism or Hinduism.

But, example of known fact through multiple clear evidence, and widely agreed to by most Christians also: Earth is 4.55bn years old. (there's nothing liberal or conservative about this widely known information, widely accepted by believing Christians in most every church except Jehovah Witnesses)

Unfortunately, public education is not about education; it is about social and psychological programming.

You have to pay to be educated, because a well-educated, independent population is a dangerous population to tyranny and control.


It won''t change at all, because the laws are already written around further types of indoctrination and programming - and it covers every facet of thought used by us "commoners" to judge the intellectual and psychological worth of other commoners (e.g. evolution vs creationism, LBGT rights vs. nullity, common core vs traditional, conspiracy theory vs. ambivalence.)

Education has always been a juxtaposition of conflicting and destructive ideals for the purposes of keeping division among the people. It doesn't matter if you go to private or public school because the social and psychological paradigms have the same skeleton.

P.S. most christians do not believe the earth is 4.55 billion years old, the bible teaches the earth and humanity is roughly 10,000 years old.

I agree for the most part, however private christian tha I have experienced would not exactly apply to your scenario.

Do you believe taxpayer funding should be used to promote the liberal social agenda described?

Agree.

2 of my kids went to a Christian school for a couple of years and transferred back to the public school district I lived in. Both of my kids said, the Christian school curriculum, was far easier than the public school and they didn't learn much.

What religion are you referring to?

Is it not good enough, to teach religion in church and at home?

You are wrong, most Christians accept well evidenced science, in regards to both evolution and the age of the universe.

Well, I prefer the liberal agenda of teaching tolerance and acceptance of LGBT and other marginalized people than the discrimination against LGBT that is encouraged in right wing evangelical circles. I also prefer the liberal agenda of teaching well established science and scientific facts than the attempts to teach the unsubstantiated facade of creationism. Next, I prefer the liberal agenda of challenging the coerced right wing attempts to indoctrinate children in American nationalism by forcing them to recite the pledge of allegiance or force them to stand for the national anthem. And finally, I prefer the liberal agenda of teaching environmental responsibility than the right wing attempts to deny climate change. One last word, I don't think Christianity or any other religion should be used to influence children in a secular public school. Religious teaching is the responsibility of parents or guardians, not teachers and other school facility. I'm very glad that mandatory Christian prayer is no longer allowed in schools.

Sorry! Definitely I think education vouchers for the full per student cost of publicly funded education should be sent to all families in any school taxing district. Parents should be able to use these vouchers to pick the school they like.

(about that age of Earth, the mere numerical number is of course irrelevant to saving faith in Christ Jesus, but sometimes debated, and one can learn from polls what Americans believe, and I suggest look at more than one poll, and from more than one polling organization. Well known polling organizations include such as Gallup, Pew, etc. here's a list of U.S. polling organizations:

Some years ago now a slate of YEC candidates took over the Vista, California (a suburb of San Diego) school board. Of course they wanted YECism in science classes and the usual fundamentalist Protestant style prayer and Bible study for all students. In addition they planned revisionist content for Social Studies a la David Barton and such things as forbidding the teaching of tolerance for diversity and ambiguity, forbidding teaching about women who had achieved success in fields other than homemaking and bolting the chairs of the classrooms to the floor to prevent group work, which undercuts the divine authority of the teacher. By God's grace they were quickly recalled.

Would you want your 5 year old child subjected to the liberal homosexual agenda as seen below?
