Most in the US cannot understand this in the way you (and others farther south) can. When we talk about moms that “generously give up one income” to stay home to school their children, it shows that we have different ideas of hardship and sacrifice. I am sure you know what I mean when I say that I pray one day we can all share the US idea of hardships.

I appreciate your insights and think we probably agree more than disagree.

To be fair, the ignorance is admitted–that’s why it notes there is different ideas among the bishops and why it asks a question at the end. Yes, parents have the primary right and duty to educate their children. But at least when it comes to religious education, I don’t think it is wrong for bishops–who are the chief teachers of their flocks by divine authority–to take an interest in ensuring that duty is being fulfilled.

In areas like the SF Bay Area, the forced promotion of homosexualism in schools proceeds on schedule. Even in failing school districts, sexualization of children takes priority over basic academic skills. This is why I absolutely support a voucher system, to give those parents a choice who don’t want public school districts indoctrinating their children!

All schools are ideological. The government schools were started to create compliant worker bees for the factories. The side benefit was compliant citizens. That is what the promoters of government schooling said and isn’t an invention. You can see what ideologies government schools are promoting in the West. They are horrible.

This also plays into something that is destroying society. The powers that be tell us that only ‘experts’ can do anything. This is an assault on the principles of democracy and subsidiarity. The experts are often wrong and incompetent. So just practically speaking this tyranny of experts makes no sense.

Moral ideologies are pushed by parents

Which is the primary role of a parent!

We have come a long way from illiteracy.

In the United States we’ve come from illiteracy by necessity (schools not available or child had to work, etc.) to deliberate illiteracy, where parents do not support their children learning to read/write.

Where do you think people sleep 5,6 ,7 in a few square meters sharing beds with no bathroom…

That has nothing to do with education. A few years ago I was invited into a family’s ger (tent) in Mongolia. The ger was about 20 feet in diameter, with six or seven beds along the wall. It had no running water and the family made its own cheese in blue pickle barrels in one corner. Hanging on the wall were two MD diplomas of the children who grew up in a tent.
