My in-laws home-school their kids in a Baptist ghetto.
They're 2 years behind their peers in basic skills and if it ain't about
Jesus, it ain't bein' discussed in the home. OMG!!!! Are all
2.5billion of the Chinese and Indian's going straight to hell because
"they don't _know_ Jesus"? Going to get kinda crowded down there don't
you think?


My point, exactly. Noone is protecting the kids in these Jesus Ghettos
from the brainwashing. My next door neighbor is 35. He was brought up in
a World Church of God ghetto by a domineering mother. He's all screwed up
from it and no amount of counseling has helped him heal the scars she
caused him all his young life.

He'd have been much healthier screwing around with Mary Lou under the
football bleachers than having his head blown off by the Guilt Freaks For
Jesus.



Hmmm...the statistics that I've stumbled across suggest that religous
schools in general produce students that score ahead of regular school
students on measures of academic achievement.

I expect Larry has the data to back his views. He couldn't be
operating simply on the basis of opinion even prejudioce, surely?
