[quote:SilverPatriot:MV8xOTA4NzI5XzMyMDMzODkyXzk1N0E1QUEy] Op, The simple fact is that our public school systems teaches controversial sex education at a young age regardless of the parent’s wishes along with negating all religions hence some parents elect to place their children in Parochial or fundamentalist schools. The Louisiana school system does have a voucher system whereby they do pay for a fundamentalist education and I fail to understand your abhorrence other than your hate of religion. Perhaps you should look at the objectives of the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum and note that each child receives diagnostic testing to fill the knowledge gaps from their public education system learning. If a parent wanted to take advantage of the better education provided by an Accelerated Christian Education school then why not as ultimately it is the parent’s responsibility to use their input to help their child have a well-rounded education. Also, consider the fact that many people on this forum believe some controversial ideas that they did not learn in school hence we are always learning and changing our beliefs and it does not matter where we started our education.

A state in America is paying for children to attend fundamentalist schools where the existence of the Loch Ness monster is taught as fact in an effort to disprove the theory of evolution.
School children in the southern state of Louisiana are to receive vouchers, provided by the government, enabling them to attend private schools which teach the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum (ACE).
