The type of legislation you propose generally in other jurisdictions has been used to foster a type of public school pantheism that could be deeply violative of Judaeo-Christian-Moslem beliefs against idolatry and pantheism. It smacks of New Age and beyond. The money would be better spent teaching people that in America we RESPECT the rights of all to worship as they choose -- a very ugly New Age book in my library says that in the "New Age" people will say "blessed be THY god" rather than "blessed be MY god" -- there are hundreds of thousands of us out there -- many very articulate who may not and will not cross that line. Please don't cross it either -- please do not spend taxpayer money to do it!

We have found a new way to waste money. Now the state wants to spend money to indoctrinate kids with NATO thought. What is "internationalism" other than a way to degrade the United States and extol other cultures. If individual districts want to do this that is their business, but the state government should not institutionalize "The New World Order".

How do these people dream up these ridiculous schemes to waste OUR momey? Thank god there are enough sensible legistators to shoot down the bad ideas.

We can't even teach people of the founding fathers and the ultimate sacrifices that were made to give us the freedoms we are losing through the "global agenda". Instead of "indoctrinating" these students and teaching them the violative ways of world government against our constitution , we should be teaching them to recognize that they are being morphed into the global agenda by losing their American sovereignity!
