Public school systems insane

Editor, The Chronicle

Regarding ``School violence drill hones skills'' (Aug. 17 Augusta Chronicle):

Why would any parent expose their children to the psychological conditioning that is going on in our school system? Where is the logic? Has this nation lost its mind?

In South Carolina, it only costs $30 to school children at home legally... The time has come to get all children out of the public school insanity before they are turned into little Hitlers or obedient serfs.

A child in the public school system cannot mention God to anyone, cannot pray, cannot read the Ten Commandments, and cannot be free from fear. Where are the clergymen? Are they so busy gathering the offering that they cannot preach the truth?

R.E. Sutherland, Aiken
