Why NO Education Entity Should Be Religious

The US Supreme Court is considering whether tax funds should go to a RELIGIOUS Charter (PUBLIC) school (link). It would be the FIRST breach of the historical 1st Amendment clause, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, - - - ". Below is my argument that NO religious body should ever be involved with education:

• The mission of education is to impart knowledge/information and how to evaluate it.
• This means that knowledge/information should be presented in the context of critical/science-based thinking, as science is simply from the Greek for knowledge.
• No religion is supported by the above. All claims for anything supernatural have either been falsified or are unfalsifiable. Thus, it should not be accepted as truth under the above.
• To poison any educational process with any unsupported indoctrination is like adding poop to a stew, thus, is diametrically opposed to everything true education is about.

Rockefeller: The Source Of The USA's Education Problems?

"The American educational system, a cornerstone of societal development, has undergone numerous transformations over the years. One influential figure in shaping the landscape of education was John D. Rockefeller, a name often associated with wealth and industrial prowess. However, as I delve into the annals of history, a disconcerting truth emerges — one that raises questions about the true motives behind Rockefeller’s educational endeavors."

If you think that there is no problem with US education after partaking of the above, the link below will help you to understand how sheepish humans are without critical thinking skills:

The Nose Of The Christian Monster Is Under The USA Tent

"While national headlines capture much of our attention, it's crucial to recognize the significant challenges arising at the state level that threaten the separation of church and state, a cornerstone of our democracy. Recent legislative efforts in various states aim to blur this wall of separation, undermining the First Amendment's guarantee of the freedom of, and from, religion."

Barriers To Public Schools Teaching Critical Thinking

" - - - While teachers do encourage critical thinking, there has never been a way of formally integrating teaching this skill into existing curricula. Apart from a few teachers who do train their students in this art, most teachers do not for one simple reason — there is no time."

There it is. The most important skill that needs to be taught is pushed aside because of time constraints. Click on the link below for the details:

Three Reasons Why Public Schools Don't Teach Critical Thinking

The Purpose And Value Of Public Education

"Why have public schools become a setting for heated political debates? In this second installment of a special three-part series, Heather and Joanne weigh in on the current nationwide tensions over censorship and parental control in American public schools.

"Heather and Joanne look back on the founding concepts of American education, the rise of school reformers in the late 19th century, and the development of segregation academies during the 1960s."

The History Of Public Education

"I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."
~ John D. Rockefeller

Sadly, the purpose of compulsory public education was not founded on critical thinking and true learning but for training and indoctrination in service to the state and church authority.

I'll take George Carlin's opinion of education: "Children should be taught to ask questions, not to obey." Yes, there is a need for factual learning but without critical thinking also, education is training only. If there ever was a need for the application of science-based thinking, public education is priority one IMHO.

Beware Of How School Vouchers Are Being Used

With the many issues confronting the US public school system, there are many ideas floating around regarding how to improve the problem, to include such efforts as pouring more money directly into the public schools, alternative education for teacher training, busing, charter schools, and vouchers for private schools. Out of all of these, the last effort is on the shakiest educational and constitutional ground.
