"They don't need to be part of the government. If school board buy the program and run it with out consent or notifying parents then it is government back.."

You specifically complained that it was "the USA government" doing this.

It's not.

You came back and said ... uh, I'm not quite sure what you said. It sounds like it translates to "It doesn't have to be the government to be the government"...?

Come on now... are you tring to tell me that if the goverment bought a school program requireing students to learn the Bible it would be a government program because a church made the program?

That is the same logic you are using here.

Did the government buy this program? Or is it being donated to the schools by an organization funded by private donations? I was under the distinct impression that it was the latter, and had not seen anything to the contrary, but I'll go back and look for that specific information when I get home later, in case I was wrong -- I have to run out now.

(BTW, the Bible example brings up a separate issue of church/state entanglement, so it wasn't the best example to use.)
