Parents have limitless areas of their worldview that they want to pass on to their children. The time they are learning academics is a key and indispensable time to impart this wisdom. It is impossible not to pass a worldview during education and a highly desired time to pass the correct worldview. |  |
 | Some believe that if a teacher stays “neutral,” the child will not be taught a worldview. First, neutral is a worldview. The teacher clearly does not have the time to teach every viewpoint much less, competently know every viewpoint. Teaching that murder, rape, and theft are wrong is teaching a worldview. Staying neutral on those issues is immoral. Most parents want their children to value one viewpoint over another, particularly among moral issues. Yes, there is a state law requiring the Public Schools to teach morality. Teaching morality is highly problematic when the foundation cannot be the Bible. |
The teacher/ child Association is critical and belongs to the parents to decide.The Supreme Court in TROXEL et vir. v. GRANVILLE No. 99-138. (2000), confirmed the “liberty of parents and guardians” includes the right “to direct the upbringing and education of children under their control.” |  |
 | HistoryHistory is so broad and disputable that teachers, even those wanting to stay just with the facts, have to come across many areas where one needs to declare something was morally wrong such as slavery. For a teacher to stay morally neutral on this issue is highly objectionable; however, where is the line drawn? |
There are many examples of people with a master’s degrees in American history, not knowing key verifiable facts that totally change a person’s outlook on a particular person or event. First, let’s acknowledge the fact there are too many facts for one person to know. There are over one Billion Americans that lived over the last one hundred years and each with Hundreds of astonishing stories. Who decides which to teach and which to leave untold? Many widespread false stories or narratives deserve to be taught as a lesson of false narratives. Parents, not the government should determine the history curriculum being taught. |  |
 | Morals It is highly problematic to have the government deciding morality and forcing by law (Virginia Code § 22.1-208.01: Character education required) for government employees to teach morality. Teachers are forced by the great separating wall casting a god-free shadow from explaining from where the good character and morals come. Without the ability to teach the origins of character and morality we are doing a major disservice to the children. Many parents clearly want those that teach their children to be grounded in the roots of the morality they want taught |
ReligionFor religion to be properly taught it needs to be taught by being lived as well as academically. The six-plus hours a day a child is at school is a vital time to learn religion interwoven within most if not all subjects. Even a quick overview of most non-public schools shows a high desire by parents to have their children taught within their faith and not waste the education hours in that endeavor, moreover many parents believe that having a religiously neutral position does harm to their effort to inculcate a religious worldview into their children. |  |
 | Conservatism, Libertarian or Statist Ideology is often taught blatantly; however, regularly more subtle. Just the fact a teacher brings up facts versus the facts the teacher leaves out can show worldviews. Many parents do not want to stay neutral on this issue; many clearly want liberty taught and other want the “liberty of government provision” taught. |
Creation
The Creation and Evolution page is here to show my, Bill Haley’s view on the issue. The thinking on this issue will not affect proposed policies at all. The policy is that parents decide how, where, when, by whom, and what is taught to their children. Many may not want their children taught what others believe. |  |
 | It is a very dangerous policy for the government to claim that they can force the teaching of "facts." There are not just two ways, instead, hundreds of variations on these subjects. Society should oppose forcing specific teaching on any child that their parents disapprove. However, it is highly desired by parents that their children be inculcated within their worldview. |
