Not everyone is gifted to teach critical thinking skills and online curriculum can be just as brainwashing as any other form.  The fact of the matter is,   7ff8  each family is unique and some need the help of qualified teachers, but by the same token it is not for the government to say how a community school is run.  That is a community power.  There is nothing in the Constitution that says the federal government is in charge of education. That means it falls to the state and if the state constitution doesn't say anything about it then it falls to the communities and families to teach their children as they see fit.  The only reason the fed has any say in education is because of atheism and the removal of prayer and Christian education from the classrooms.  That opened the door to denying fed $ to schools who didn't accept the atheistic, democrat agenda.  They twisted the meaning of separation of Church and State.    It means the government can't tell us what religion to follow.  There is no state religion.  It doesn't mean Christianity can't be taught, or Christian values taught if that's what the community wants taught in their public school.  The gov't can't deny funding because certain values and teachings are in a public school.  If the community wants Buddhist teachings and philosophies then that community has that right.  What can't happen is teaching sedition and treason through religion or any other means.  What is taught needs to remain in the boundaries of the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.  So you can't teach students to go out and behead the infidels for not converting to Islam, or to get in positions of power to subvert and then overthrow the government and the Constitution.  That is what comes under the Jurisdiction and control of the Federal government.  That needs to be governed to assure national security.  To have this state religion of atheism is un-Constitutional!
