The sense of Christian privilege and entitlement runs deep in this country, especially in the public schools paid for with everyone's tax dollars. The need to indoctrinate children before they've reached the age of reason is a tacit admission of just how weak the Christian message actually is. Why is it ever okay to present things to children as facts, most educated adults would reject out of hand? We need to keep chipping away at that sense of entitlement until it's gone.

Years ago my wife and I moved to Ft. Lauderdale and our kids grew up there. I was intrigued to see that the schools closed on major Jewish holidays and the background for those holidays was included in class material. I thought it was fine that my kids were becoming multicultural but I wondered how any fundamentalist Christians moving to the area might have felt... "Oh my God Maybelle, the Jews run these schools and are forcing our kids to participate in Jewish rituals. We're all gonna go to Hell now!"
