Child abuse ?

[Something completely different]

I never denied that you posted your opinion.

Stating that one only post non understandabel and contradictory things - is denying that someone is posting his opinion.

So, now we have a clear outlook of what you believe. So, you do not think you have a right to tell parents what they teach their children?

Again, what one is taught at school and with what one is brought up with at home - are two different things.

A child should not be taught the fundermantals of a religion at school as if it were the truth.

If a child is brought up in a religious household - therefor grows up religious, due to the influence the parents have on the childs upbringing on a privat level - that is not school education.

You do not think that teaching religion is child abuse? If yes to both of the above, then we agree.

To pose as a educator when one is not, in order to indoctrinate children into a certain worldview under the pretext of being a legitemate educational institution is:

A abuse of power from the side of the "educator"

A abuse of the childs cognitive comliance, which is more capabel to receive and store newly learned knowlege - therefor abuse of the child.

And to let it happen is a failure to help a person in danger.

As for homeschooling, we have specific curriculum for children here to that parents have to adhere to.

So why are children taught creationism by homeschooling parents and religiously instituted schools?

I believe this is the right course of action. What I do not believe is that the government should have a say beyond that, barring actual abuse.

The goverment only underlines who has to right to call things education and who has not.
The scientific comunity and pedagogic experts have a monopoly on this.
They determin the curriculum - the goverment provides this curriculum to public schools and assure that privat schools follow the standerds of that curriculum or exceed it in it`s effectiveness.
Aswell as it makes sure that non-educative programs are not used in private and public schools, and that pseudo-educators cannot pose and therefor teach as legitemate educators.
