Evidently the separation of church and state does not apply to public schools -
It is impossible to separate the state from church in education. Public education implys a state religion. The separation of church and religion people enforce a state religion without even knowing.
The American public schools find their roots in Rousseau and Dewey
Both denied the supernatural order. Public schools havefollowed their concepts for about a century now. Educators tell us that the nature of man is good but it is corrrupted by social institutions ( Society ) with defined religiions included. Aristotle said the form and matter of human beings are always joined. Rousseau and Dewey said no. They denied the supernatural played a part in education. For the first hundred years or so, our schools were based on the supernatural having a rightful place in education and there were external powers outside of the person to guide them in their lives.
Later, things changed. We were taught that somehow in some way all we have to do is to attach ourselves to an inner power within us. Love thyself took on a different dimension.
More than fifty years ago, a history teacher at a public high school failed me because I protested his teaching as being a secular religion. Today, public education has evolved even further in the denial of the existence of a supernatural and a external power to help us on our way. With the growth of home schooling, we see many countering this state religion and hopefully more parents will follow in their footsteps.
We have also lost the chance of having real philosophy taught in our schools. Philosophy is a study of beings as beings but now there is very little of this in high schools and most colleges just have survey courses of past philosophies. Why? Because philosophy opens the door to religion.
In the process, the common good has been fractionalized and almost dismantled in education as being a part of an external power that can not be defined.
If you do not have education including the study of beings as beings you have an abstraction of reality. A child ultimately can not ask in class where have I come from because the answers leads to the supernatural. In the abstraction of all this, it is obvious that state education is a state religion and dictates a distinquishable belief system.
