Sir, – Why do we continue to allow and even provide the funding for our children to be conditioned to believe as indisputable facts that certain biblical figures existed and that supposedly miraculous events took place, but also that certain words were really uttered exactly verbatim thousands of years ago?
This kind of so-called “education” is something that is akin to teaching our children that the characters and events featured in all the fairytales read to them by their parents also actually existed.
Isn’t it about time that this institutional abuse of our children’s minds was finally stopped altogether in our schools and replaced instead by teaching them how we should respect and act fairly towards one another, without the need to put in a plug for any religious belief system?
– Your, etc,
