most of the teachers union. at least ALL of the stuff they put out is not pro-Christian nor pro-Christian morals.

Not being pro-Christian does not automatically mean anti-Christian, although quite a few fundie wackos truly believe it is. And Christianity hardly holds a monopoly on morals. Teachers work in a government position, and unless you've forgotten, there's this little bit in the Bill of Rights about church-state seperation.

How much is most? Can we get a look at the statistics you have?

Not pro-christian? You've set up a false dilemma - Something that is not pro-christian is not automatically anti-christian.

God, I should hope not. Do you think our public education system should be actively "putting out" pro-christian "stuff"?

And a nice little switch from "anti-christian" to "not pro-christian", btw. Was that in response to my comment "Apparently, when you see that pro-tolerance, you interpret it as anti-christian. What does that tell us about you and Christianity, I wonder?"

OK, so to you "oppression" should only be used in EXTREME cases. Fine. Call it "hindrance", "aggravation", "unhappiness" or pick whatever term you like. It doesn't change the intent of what I was trying to say.
