The American Madrasah

Frequently in the news we see pictures of children in a Madrasah in Pakistan or Iran sitting there learning the Koran. In reality these kids learn nothing, and are often filled with hate for Americans. Sadly we have about the same thing in our country. Many of the so called Christian schools are nothing but the American version of the Madrasah. Resources that could be used to fund real schools and provide real improvement to public education are diverted to schools that indoctrinate, not educate. If the people so obsessed with protecting their children from reality would put the same effort into the public schools would the world not be a better place. Those behind the religious schools always demonize the public schools and insist on taking the easy way out and starting their own school instead of doing the hard thing and improving the public school. So many time you end up with the situation you have in Virginia. All the rich kids go to the private schools and all the poor blacks go to the public schools. Since the rich don't use the public schools they don't want to support them with taxes. Then these people have the audacity to cal themselves loving Christians. Go figure.
