Hmm...Before picking apart the post I am trying to assume the most unbiased view possible. The realization is, with the refutation of God in public schools, it undermines a certain moral guidance system taught so incredulously by parents and advocates of a faith. "There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live." - John Adams

The issue really needs to be examined from different sides of the box. It isn't merely one or the other goes. There needs to be some sort of philosophical history in public schools, or at the very least, a type of 'morals hour'. With this, comes many arguments from either side of the spectrum - the first is with the kids. They flat won't go for a teacher telling them not to do this and to do that in a class designed as such. But philosophy seems to be a plus, which could touch on the basics of many religions and theology (here again, big problems with the state). And another dilemma, how could it be taught to children/young adults so there is no misinterpretation or ambiguity between a 'class at school' and their religion/beliefs (or how could a higher level thinking be taught at all to very young people). I strongly disapprove of strict science being taught in schools (or religion in public schools for that matter); it must be coupled with something which teaches younger generations to accept other's beliefs and lays the foundation for ethical reasoning (note ethics is not discipline).
