Eh, I personally dont want additional standards being taught in publically funded class rooms. If the church wants to shame its members, they can do that in their own buildings on their own time.

I went to a christian school, but I went for an education, not an indoctrination. If I or my parents wanted the latter we would have to church.

On the upside, from my experience/anecdotal data point, my school did a fantastic job of taking in fairly faithful students and beating that out of them :D

Yeah I agree with you and I think there's a lot to be said about if and what role publicly funded religious schools should play in society.

I think the priveliged position of these schools right now makes the original complaint here even more ridiculous.
