Ukrainian Othodox teaches purer Chritian ethics which are closer to the truth than Evangelicals with USA origin - many USA evagelicals are corrupt, adulterers - be very suspicious of their real motives in any country

Hi. There is nothing in our Constitution that "separates" religion from the Government. The only criteria is that the Government was forbidden to do was to establish a religion and they were not to touch our inherent (God-given) rights to freely worship anywhere we wish, any time, and any place. That includes the schools or anywhere else.

Our 1st schools used the Bible to teach reading. That's what they studied. The Bible. It's only when the Feds established schools that it changed. When I went to school...regular school not a Christians school... we would say a Bible verse in the morning after the Pledge of Alliegance. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Before lunch we'd all pray. Nobody had a cow over it like the brainwashed Cretens do now.

I agree in principle that parents are responsible for their children's education.

However, if you have a school someone's worldview s going to be taught. It is either going to be a Christian worldview or an anti-Christian worldview. There is no neutrality.

Perhaps we need to advocate the separation of school and state. But their is no neutrality wherever there are schools.

if everyone followed the example of the man christ there would be peace and never another war...........he did bring peace......let other peoples beliefs be for god to sort through..we do unto others like he did...............right?

Ukrainian children learn orthodox or catholic values at Sunday school. Public schools should be kept secular so people of all faiths can come together. This prevents further division of Ukrainian people.

Christian ethics are basically the same in all churches.

Only doctrines and practices are different.

[nik69]

This is a step backwards

[peterhumphrys]

@nik69 I think that you are correct, Schools should teach ethical or moral reasoning not tied to any particular faith, but should get students to think through the issues and help them to formulate their own moral views. Indoctrination is simply not going to work effectively in a modern pluralist world.
