A prominent Southern Baptist is asking the national convention to consider a resolution recommending parents remove their children from what he calls ''godless'' and ''anti-Christian'' public schools.
The resolution, co-authored by T.C. Pinckney, publisher of a Baptist newsletter in Alexandria, Va., urges parents to home-school their children or send them to Christian schools.
''God gives the responsibility for education of children to the parents, not to the government,'' Pinckney said yesterday. ''And parents should be taking responsibility, primarily through home-schooling.''
The proposal, which also was written by Texas attorney Bruce Shortt, says the public school system claims to be neutral but is actually opposed to Christianity and provides an education that is ''godless.''
''Just as it would be foolish for the warrior to give his arrows to his enemies, it is foolish for Christians to give their children to be trained in schools run by the enemies of God,'' the resolution states.

Yup, this is exactly what religious nuts need: shitty home schooling that leaves them even dumber. Go God!
