Doesn’t State consent, and finance to religion-based schools promote community fragmentation?

In a world increasingly divided and endangered by fundamentalism, it seems to me religion-based schools in “multi-cultural” societies must increase potential for perceptions of religious favoritism and converse victimization – and therefor eventual power struggles using religion, and importing external conflicts. In a secular State religion is certainly free as a personal matter. Separation of State, Law, and Religion has avoided conflict that has bloodied many other societies. But politicians, and religious groups, have massaged sectarian interests for short-term sectional benefit. I believe only co-education, free of religious indoctrination, can increase understanding and mutual acceptance – and ensure equal opportunity for all. What do you think? Especially believers, in whatever religion. And if it is wise do we have the restraint to insist on it, even at our own short-term expense? Or prefer to cling to our own ghettos? (I wonder how many answers that’ll bring?)

Why would the state seek to fragment the state? A house divided against itself cannot stand!

In the ghetto…
Very nicely put. Although I think it would be unconstitutional to force private schools to lose their religious affiliations, I agree with you wholeheartedly, and feel that these kinds of schools are potential breeding pools for radical, intolerant religious ideologies. We can’t do much about it, but we should be cautious…we’re gonna have quite a time dealing with a diverse and hot-headed group of religious adherents in our nation’s future.

It is my opinion that the educational system in America is broke.
We now have College graduates that can’t add and subtract.
We have teenagers that can not read grandpa’s watch.
The teaching of Religious thought and principles is best left to those trained to do it.
