Bob,
I absolutely agree with you about the NEA! Where we part company is that I don't feel this is an intentional vendetta against just Christians, but an attack on all parental authority, no matter what their beliefs.

I am strongly opposed to the the teaching of sex education or the acceptability of homosexuality as a life style in schools, not because I don't believe in these things, but because they have no place in the educational system, nor are they the responsibility of anyone else to teach my children.

Unfortunately many parents have abdicated their responsibilities. What do we do about this? The standards of Christianity are very nice, almost universally accepted; they have much in common with the standards of other major religions and with the standards of many atheists. But you haven't been talking about standards, you've been pushing religion. Very different.

My 17 year old considers himself an atheist, yet he has higher "standards" than many of his "Christian" friends. Are you sure you're not confusing faith and general moral and ethical behavior which may exist independent of specific religions? I would feel much more comfortable about you and YOUR agenda if you had not written that These are two top very anti-christian thrusts in the public schools. These agenda's violate my religious freedom to raise my child by the standards of my faith.
No one has taken away your right to raise your child as you see fit. But you most certainly take away mine if you insist that the Christian religion is the only acceptable way to raise children and you insult me when you imply that because my children have no religious affiliation they are immoral or without standards. That makes me extremely wary of you--just as wary as I am of the NEA.
