It is not about improving schools. It is about softening up students so they make

great little GOP footsoldiers. Sure some schools are struggling in the USA. But they are not struggling in Canada. In 2007 the Conservatives in Ontario ran on increasing religious schools. There was no problem with the quality of schools in Ontario. One reason for them to do this was to indoctrinate more students as they learn...preparing them to be indoctrinated again by the right wing as they age and start to vote.

Softening UP: to prepare to persuade someone of something is what it is all about....doing away with critical thinking that public institutions teach and inserting an authoritarian mindset in children.

1. The fundies are no longer content with homeschooling.

They want to force their archaic theocratic doctrine onto all of society. When people speak of "religious freedom", this is code for "we, as (insert religion here) want a world based upon our religious beliefs.

2. The aren't allowed to play Dodgeball or keep score in competitive games.

I should think the gop mindset promotes distinct divisions between winners and losers.

Have to disagree.

3. ALLOWED to play dodgeball? They aren't allowed to play rape either. Good fucking riddance.
