Yeah, it's why the extreme right-- and more recently the mainstream right-- have been campaigning against public education and higher education (except religious universities) for years. As my father put it when my adult sisters became ardent home-schoolers of their own kids, "The problem is there's no God in school."

"But can't you teach about God at home after school and in church on Sunday?" I asked. I mean, that's how I learned about God in his house. I didn't need God to be on the syllabus M-F 8am-3pm 36 weeks a year.

Of course, I turned firmly against religion in my teens thanks to a public school and university education, so maybe to my family I am Exhibit A for the argument that public schools and universities are anti-God.
