Chrisintine,

What you said makes sense to me too, but only in theory. In practice it isn't practical. Who is going to be given the power and authority to tell parents not to teach their children what the powers that be deem unacceptable (the act of teaching not the doctrine - as you say). In order to pull that off you would have to deny the parents the right to raise their children, take them away shortly after birth and let the state raise them according to their dictates. One way or the other somebody ends up with the tikes and teaches them something. If you let the parents keep the children then the law of regulation becomes unwieldy and awkward and burdensome, not to mention subject to every kind of corruption. The effect in either case is worse than the problem you attempt to cure. Fact is there have been countries that have attempted this kind of thing to one degree or another. But for reasons I will not say I will keep that to myself. <g>

If people teach hatred, its a fault of man. Who else could you blame.

Beliefs whether religious or political will divide people, there's no getting around it, is there?
