Is it a more caring set of parents? Or is it the fact parochial schools have GOD in their schools while public ones do their best to erase God from their teachings?<br /><br />How about the answer being all three. More caring parents, and thus a better class of student, tend to be willing to send their children to schools where morals are taught. And morals come from religion (where there is no vote on what is 'moral' and what is not. Where there is no 'choices' that none are good or bad.) <br /><br />We need to reform our snakepits we call 'public schools'. They used to have prayer in such schools. They used to read passages from the Christian Bible over the PA system once a day. They used to teach morals in schools. Nowdays it seems it's all about 'transgender rights'. You cannot even wear a Christian t-shirt to schools these days!<br /><br />Think about it folks. Mass shootings at parochial schools just don't happen (except at St. Mary's Parochial School in Newburgh, N.Y. in 1891 and Bremen school shooting in 1913!)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635784352780834494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-41008643406517118272018-02-15T15:37:23.933-06:002018-02-15T15:37:23.933-06:00Jim at said...

He apparently sees this as teaching religion. If he took the time to education himself he would learn that our concepts of virtue and vice originated with the ancient Greek philosophers and not religion.<br /> If a growing number of children do not get any moral instruction from their parents or from religious institutions, where will they get their notions of right or wrong? From the street where it is easy to conclude that justice is nothing but the will of the stronger?
