Separating school and state

[Thoros of Myr]

In my opinion this doesen't breed diversity. Your taking kids out of real life (all that crap) and putting them in a closed environment chosen by their parents. That's probably best for say elementary school but as kids get older I think they need and should be faced with diversity and conflict in order for them to develop a stable, tolerant mentality. I'm saying this from experiance as I was in private school from grades 6-11 and it probably hurt me as much as it helped me. Ofcourse results may vary but once I developed more of my own mind I saw the reasons why it might not have been the best thing for me.

But hey American public schools are a mess in more ways than one. I think it would be trading some problems for others though.

What needs to happen in schools is for the the idiotic power struggles to stop and everything be taught equally but that's probably never going to happen. I can see all the same issues being brought up even if everything was given equal play some people still will not want their kids to see images of homosexual families or bible passages.
