VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Dinah|DATE|1370855060|CONTENT|Wittingly or otherwise, the Bish presented a perfect case for why there should not be religiously-segregated schools in this country.  Herding the children of Muslim parents into Muslim schools, those of Catholic parents into Catholic schools, ditto Protestants, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, is such an obviously terrible idea it makes me despair that our leaders in this country are so asinine they can’t (or won’t) see this.  

Some Christian schools continue take in children from other religious backgrounds, but the general impression is that there has been a lot of tightening up on admissions lately.  Parents not only have to fund religious schools with their taxes, but are required to attend church and volunteer to do the flower-arranging or something as well in order to get their children in.  Added to this is the increasing tendency of certain religious groups with various axes to grind to take over secular schools and turn them into something else entirely.
If our leaders were wanting to turn the next generation into a load of bigoted, fundy crackpots they couldn’t have planned it better.
