Yet sheltering them from the dreaded word "God", by making sure they never hear it or learn that other people respect the notion, doesn't give them much option either. Does it?[/quote]

I don't want my children to recite the pledge because it has a religious component, and because of this religious component, I don't feel that it should be a part of the everyday school routine.  This does not mean that I am sheltering them from the word God, or making sure they never hear it or learn that other people respect the notion. It just means that I want these things to happen within our family and/or our church.[/quote]

Then if you, like so many other left wing loons are so against saying the word "god" in school, then I suppose you are all against the use of any DC or federal funding for kids to go to any charter or parochial schools that make any mention of the word god?  Doesn't that violate your "values?"  (I wonder where those values come from?  wicca?  whatever your mood hence your insane ideas you post on DCUMs that make no sense)[/quote]

I strongly support the laws in DC that prohibit any kind of religious instruction or proselytizing in Charter Schools.  I oppose the voucher program that uses public funds to pay tuition for students at parochial schools.  I don't oppose the use of the word "God" in schools at all.  For example, I support my child learning how religious ideas shape people's actions (e.g. connecting the Puritan's decision to come to America with their religious beliefs), and learning what others believe, such as through world religion classes.  I do not support my child, or any other child, being taught with tax dollars that one religion is the "norm". [/quote]
