    Oklahoma Approves First Religious Charter School in the U.S.

    The school will offer online, Roman Catholic
    instruction funded by taxpayers. Its approval
    is certain to tee off a legal battle over the
    separation of church and state.

    Oklahoma approved what would be the nation’s first religious charter school on Monday, handing a victory to Christian conservatives but opening the door to a constitutional battle over whether taxpayer dollars can directly fund religious schools.

    I am concerned about the trend, but at least the Catholic schools tend to have competent science education.

    Those tax dollars are already funding Satanic scultures and Satanic reading times to kids, but you are probably ok with that. You are probably also ok with tax money being qpent on drag queen reading times, too.

    Man, you do not know the same Catholic students I know. Mostly educated in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I have noticed massive gaps in the education of some of them. And I don't know any home school kids, but I know some of their parents doing the schooling..

    Funny you bring up "interesting" history as it seems the public schools are leaving out all the interesting civics and history these days. I mean...learning about muslims or some made up kwanzaa holiday isn't very interesting to my kids....but all that
    normal history my generation grew up with would be very intersting to them.

    Our Navada Republican Governor just forced through, "Tax dollars for religious charter schools."
    And, of course, no gun control. He wants the next Las Vegas mass shooter to be as well armed as the last.

    The latter is certainly true. I looked at the figures some years ago. Based on ACT/SAT scores, public schools averaged higher than private in the US, and they in turn averaged higher than homeschoolers.

    Let me tell you what they are teaching in public schools in CA: Any history that doesn't involve a single white person. And, my kids highschool even went as far to ban a number of classic novels including Huckleberry Finn, 1984, Animal Farm, and 12
    Angry Men for some reason. And, there's no real education going on in some classes....teachers constantly pulling out the TV and just playing movies while they veg or reading vampire books to the class.

    Oklahoma Approves First Religious Charter School in the U.S.

    The school will offer online, Roman Catholic instruction funded by taxpayers. Its approval
    is certain to tee off a legal battle over the separation of church and state.

    Oklahoma approved what would be the nation’s first religious charter school on Monday, handing a victory to Christian conservatives but opening the door to a constitutional battle over whether taxpayer dollars can directly fund
    religious schools.

    I am concerned about the trend, but at least the Catholic schools tend to have competent science education.
    Teaching that something supernatural happened?
    There is that, but they teach real science, including evolution and an Old Earth.
    Man, you do not know the same Catholic students I know. Mostly educated in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I have noticed massive gaps in the education of some of them. And I don't know any home school kids, but I know some of their parents doing
    the schooling... and I have serious doubts.

    A friend of mine homeschooled his kids. They turned out very intelligent. IMO, the only real problem is they were so protected and kept within the born again community that they are a little socially awkward IMO.
    Most home schoolers do so for religious reasons, and severely short the STEM areas, not to mention interesting history.
    Funny you bring up "interesting" history as it seems the public schools are leaving out all the interesting civics and history these days. I mean...learning about muslims or some made up kwanzaa holiday isn't very interesting to my kids....but
    all that normal history my generation grew up with would be very intersting to them.
    The current trend still in the South is to return to the "It wasn't slavery" kind of "noble cause" bullshit.
    Ok, I call bullshit. They are taking down confederate statues everywhere in the South so how does that match up with your bullshit claim about the noble cause?
    They are still teaching this crap. That's what part of Texas' and Florida's education "reforms" include, and the same stuff is in the suggested reforms in Ohio.
    .

    Let me tell you what they are teaching in public schools in CA: Any history that doesn't involve a single white person.

    Obvious bullshit.

    And, my kids highschool even went as far to ban a number of classic novels including Huckleberry Finn

    "https://www.marshall.edu › ... › Banned Books Home
    Aug 16, 2022 — Pulled from classes because of complaints about its liberal use of common racial slurs."

    1984, Animal Farm,

    "Unlike other books which may be banned for several reasons, there's really only one
    main reason that Animal Farm has ever been banned: the critique of Communism."

    12 Angry Men

    "Jurors smoke cigarettes throughout the movie. Biased jurors state
    as a "fact" that minorities drink too much alcohol."

    for some reason.

    For the reasons I pointed out and you would have known, had you not stopped watching real news and
    being an obvious racist.

    And, there's no real education going on in some classes...

    Bullshit. More of your self-aggrandizing without facts or links.

    ...teachers constantly pulling out the TV and just playing movies while they veg or reading vampire books to the class.

    See?
