Teaching Evil

“Requiring schools to provide advance notice and the chance to opt out of every lesson plan or story time that might implicate a parent’s religious beliefs will impose impossible administrative burdens on schools.” This was the statement by Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor in her disagreement with a recent ruling. It was decided that public schools must allow parents to opt out of training children in sodomy. That was a good choice by the Supreme Court. The absolute insanity that would lead someone to imagine that this kind of child abuse is a good thing is a whole other issue.

Her claim, and the claim of many other mentally unstable people who have no apparent moral grounding, is that sodomy is just in a "range of concepts and views" that everyone should learn. She apparently believes that schools should not be burdened with the responsibility to avoid teaching things that are evil. The fact that this is even a question that takes America's highest court to resolve shows that the public schools are a lost cause. Yes, we can pass a few more laws to protect those children who are there, but that does not mean that the public school system can be salvaged.

People frequently cite a "nice school" that they know about as though that justifies keeping the rest of the system alive. I know of people who have survived plane crashes as well; that does not mean I want to be in one. Catholic parents are responsible to raise their children in the Catholic faith, and to ensure that their education be fully in accord with the Catholic faith. So, if certain educators and politicians believe that it is an "impossible" burden to allow parents to be resonsible for their children's education and remove them from immoral instruction, then they should stop teaching things that are blatantly evil.
