I don't give a shit what these idiots think goes against their conservative Christian views. The god they worship is a terrible, petty bully who isn't worth a fucking thought let alone worship. If they want their kids to get a conservative Christian education they can send them to a private school of their choosing and pay for it out of their own pockets. Until then they can leave their worthless petty bullshit god out of education.

I went to Catholic school. The Jesus they taught us about was a kind, loving man. My Dad once asked me how I got so liberal. I told him he was the one who sent me to a religious school. Not all Christians are stupid, hateful jerks.

I'm a Quaker now, and my Catholic mother asked me the same question. I suggested that bringing a pre-teen to Vietnam War midnight peace vigils (why yes, my brother did have a crazy-low draft number) was probably a contributing factor to me, I don't know, supporting pacifism.

That they hold up as an example of fatherhood a being which believes both that the mere fact of having created a person entitles them to total control over that person and that torture is an appropriate response to disobedience explains a lot about why they're such shitty parents. And why their opinion on raising children should be given exactly zero weight.
