Ahhh jg.. Until now I thought you had your head together!!!
What do you call religion? The uber-drug!
My kids have awesome morals and a highly developed social conscious… We do all that without outsourcing to a fantasy. This isn’t the thread for it but in my opinion religion doesn’t seem to do anything positive to a kids development other than fill their heads with lies and teaches prejudice.
Bishops is an awesome school… The children who attend are Episcopalians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Budhists and even Athiests!
Each to his own I guess – but it’s sad to keep hearing the same tired platitude from people that ‘religion = morality’. Your idea that religion in school keeps drugs out is quite a bold concept and a statement made with blinders on. Kids get their values from their parents and environment. The more religious the environment – the less openness. So religion is sometimes the problem, it sure isn’t a solution.
Places like Francis Parker, LJCDS, and even Bishop’s have drug problems. Rich kids with indifferent parents will always get the best drugs. Religious school or secular. Poke around and take off the blinders – you might get an epiphany!
