Religion in public schools

HTTR Forever.
This question has a different twist on it because of something I encountered this morning when dropping off my daughter at school.

Last year, this little 1st grader in Emily's class spent music class in the library because due to her religion, she wasn't allowed to attend this class. I received this with skepticism, because ever religion that I know of has chants and songs and music in some way, shape or form.

Flash forward to this morning. This same little girls comes running up to me and says, I shit you not "Mr. (scooter), Mr. (scooter)!! Have you seen Ninja Assassin yet?"

:eek:

If you haven't seen or heard about this movie, it is gory and has a body count of about 200 people. It is rated, quite correctly, at R for violence and language.

So how does one go from "do not want her mind poisoned with American music class" to "watch R rated kill fests"? And what religion would see nothing wrong with this?
 
Our culture is getting flushed down the toilet. A kid can't listen to American songs, but can watch American R rated movies? Her parents are a joke.

I have a daughter in first grade and if I had an additional $10K/year I would send her to private school. The public school she attends sends home very liberal books for her to read and it annoys me.

Not yet, but I'm sure they will find a way.

I guess I never noticed any school I ever went to as being "left" leaning. Maybe they were and I never noticed it, or maybe back when I went to school, they just taught without any political influence or agenda? I ended up Republican, so it didn't work if they did.

I've heard numerous people talk about schools and liberal agendas, but I never cared because I didn't have a kid old enough to be in public school. Now I have a kid in 1st grade and I'm starting to notice it.

I think I'm going to start making my 1st grader watch Fox News instead of her morning cartoons. Maybe get her a "No Spin Zone" t-shirt.

FYI, although I do not think eye black cites are state mandated actions (:p) I DO agree that religious teaching has no place in public schools.

I agree that religion shouldn't be taught in public schools, but I also don't think left leaning reading material should be provided either.

Of course right leaning is OK! Just kidding, just make it neutral and try to stick to the facts.

What part of 1st grade is liberally bias? Specific subject or is it the teaching of a specific value you do not agree with? I don't quite understand the "liberal bias" of elemenery school.

You can't understand something that doesn't exist except in the certain people's minds. These people lap up the pablum on Faux News or whatever Keith Olbermann/Michael Moore types are serving.

I can go to a public school, pick something and if I want to find right leaning crap, I will find it. If I want to find left leaning crap, I will find it. It is easy to find what one seeks.
