Lewis: Good point Ann. We have several schools run by "Christians"
who are busily indoctrinating all the children they can get their
hands on. But doesn't that bother you?

Lewis: I have watched my sister-in-law's children change over the
past several years seeing them only at holidays. Their father did
just as you suggest and moved his family to Texas so he could send
his kids to his christain sects school. It seems like a crime the way
those kids have been ruined. They were kind affectionate kids only a
few years ago. Now they appear quite sullen and supicious of
everyone. They have been isolated from others who might question the
ideas they are being taught including their grandparents. I don't
know if encouraging the parochalism of our schools is such a good
idea.
