I guess I'm having trouble understanding the alternative to raising a child in one's own faith. Give them all the options right off the bat?
Well, the answer we get from the public school system is to try and educate a child in a religiously neutral environment. Unfortunately, there are decisions that are going to be made an philosophies that are going to be emphasized- you can't escape these things in education. And when you cannot mention or talk about any specific religion you end up with tacet athiesm, which makes me uncomfortable. Not that I think emphasizing Christianty or any other faith is the right answer either. This is one problem I have with public schools in general and why we will likely send our children to a private, Christian school for the first couple of years.
