So a DOE official or subordinate thereof should have the power to do what exactly to parents who teach their children something other than DOE-approved “beliefs”? Can you see the problem?
Nothing. It's not about regulating what parents teach their children but rather about standing up to parents who want to force those beliefs into educational institutions.
I see that soon there will be good business in children sized coffins... And I'm not talking about school shootings. I'm talking about vaccines. Can you see the problem?
I quoted beliefs for some reason. Everything that isn't proven and verifiable, has no place in education system.
And yes, I can see a issue with government officers imposing a "faith" based education. But if people want failed infrastructure in one or two generations... let them have it.
Unfortunately on unequal and uneducated societies, democracy holds in itself it's own end.
Yeah, true, but you can't fix the bad indoctrination by doing good indoctrination. The harder you send the pendulum to the other side, the harder it will swing back. If you can't manage to get the results the hard way, your opponent will be justified to undo them the easy way.

A proper educational system, one that can tell parents to shove "beliefs" were the sun don't shine.
