Scarecrow, try persuasion. You crow to scare me, I am not impressed.

Otherwise you over-interpreted me. I did not say the state knows anything about children. Some teachers do. Some don't. Most do work better if the pupil's parents offer help, or information, or care to ask for information. Others don't. School is an endangerment to children. Maybe we should choose to let our children go by without it. However JLA didn't choose so.

I did never say thoughts were illegal. Where did you take that from? I tried to interpret JLA. Maybe I did it wrong. Okay.

School cannot avoid morals education. Going to school is always morals education. Kids are exposed to the morals claims of their peers, and sometimes to high peer group pressure. Whether morals should or shouldn't be a subject (or done within one) is the question whether morals education should be done openly, giving teachers a say on morals, or as a covered action by your kid's buddies and foes. I think the first option offers more control for parents, not less. Anyway civics is morals, too.
